L’HÔTEL
the Hotel is a must. Jacques Garcia has created a charming house, luxurious but intimate and discreet, steeped in the history of Saint-Germain des Prés. Here we take a trip, a thousand places from our daily lives, in a special atmosphere, borrowed from a little nostalgia for bygone times. Each of the twenty rooms has its legend, reflected by a specific decoration. If you like English literature, room N° 16 where Oscar Wilde lived for a long time will be for you, but you will have many other choices, from Marco Polo to Charles X via Mistinguett, or even Venice and Pondicherry, and even an apartment with its terrace.
In the basement there is a lovely pool and a hammam, which can be privatized to spend a moment of relaxation alone or in pairs.
The Hotel also has one of the prettiest lounges there is, which can be privatized for events, and a Bar, the Wilde’s, one of the best known on the left bank, the one where we give appointments during the day. , where we feast at night, where every Thursday evening we come to listen to jazz. (find it in our Bars & Clubs section).

EMPORIO ARMANI
This season marks the final presentation of the original creations designed by Giorgio Armani, the designer having passed away in September 2025 after forty years of an extraordinary journey. The Armani style is characterized by clean lines and silhouettes that naturally hug the body, simultaneously simple and sophisticated, in a rather classic color palette. A contemporary yet timeless style, equally suited to a workday or a celebratory dinner, like a mix and match between Milanese and Parisian chic!

Galerie MATTHIEU RICHARD
Sophie and Mathieu Richard present pieces of the great French designers of the 1950s : Royère, Adnet, Jouve, Perriand, Prouvé, du Plantier but the gallery concentrates on the work of Mathieu Matégot, an inevitable post-war figure. Matégot was the first one to work metal as others work paper or material, by folding it or piercing it.

CIRE TRUDON
The scents of the Dyptique Candles have become indispensable, but there are other candles which are in harmony with them to give places we love a genuine character. Cire Trudon, a Royal Manufacture with an ancestral knowledge, which is the oldest candle factory in the world (1643) created them ! Here the perfumes are not identifiable at first “smell” but there are unique mixes which all reinterprete a moment of history and bring the legend of French taste to light : Empire, Pondichéry, Chandernagor, Odeur de Lune, Odalisque or Carmelite, Empire, Dada…
And today a collection of eau de parfum, kept in precious bottles, with original and heady fragrances, imagined by perfumers Antoine Lie, Yann Vasnier and Lyn Harris: Elae, Aphédie, Médie, Bruma, Deux, Révolution, Mortel and Black Mortal. Fragrances that also tell a whole story and embody a personality more than a genre.

LE CHOCOLAT ALAIN DUCASSE
Alain Ducasse and Nicolas Berger both share a passion for original tastes over extravagant ones and have selected chocolates for their purity and personality from twelve sources, meaning as many different identities and unique flavours. Each selected bean is carefully worked according to its own character and is unmixed to better reveal the identity of its producing country.

BULY 1803
To bring back the glory days of the Jean-Vincent Bully’s Officine which made a name for itself in the 19th century, Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touami went back to the original recipes and associated ancestral textures and protocoles with innovative cosmetic techniques to obtain natural products with longtested virtues.
Nothing is missing in the interior design imagined by Nicolas Daul, from the real apothecary counters to the painted ceilings, the spirit of Honoré de Balzac can be felt everywhere !
