Saint-Germain-des-Prés is often associated with nostalgia for the French New Wave. But do we really know why it’s called “des Prés” (the meadows)? That’s because, back in the Middle Ages, this neighborhood along the Seine was one of the capital’s greenest areas. Picking up on this idea, the Paristory group is opening a little gem of a place, where the green color of the fields of yesteryear is the common thread. Beyond its exquisite décor, where contrasting colors are perfectly balanced, this establishment, nestled near the Monnaie de Paris, offers access to the best of Saint-Germain-des-Prés while avoiding the hustle and bustle of the neighbourhood. While some suites even offer the delightful pleasure of private patios for basking in the sun, the other rooms are like cozy cocoons where guests can relax and read one of the books provided. This literary obsession is unique to the Paristory group, which also runs a popular and well-known annual prize, connecting the hotel to this neighborhood beloved by writers and major publishing houses.
