La maison FAVART – A mythical 4-starred hotel in Paris
I just spend a night at the fabulous 4-starred hotel: La Maison FAVART. A truely fascinating and magical place. I’ll tell you why…
Besides being one of the first hotels in Paris, la Maison FAVART is placed right in front of the beautiful comic opera…
…in the very heart of Paris
Inside you’ll find the beautiful story of the famous couple that once made the comic opera go around. This mythical hotel is a must-try during your time in Paris!
I spend one night there and was first and foremost enchanted by the hotel’s interior decoration. It amazed me from the moment I stepped in the door!
Everywhere I looked my eyes were met by objects or pictures revealing a secret or anecdotes , from the life of Monsieur and Madame FAVART…
Suitcases, photos and big chairs near the fireplace…very cozy and homely.
All kept in a classic 18th century style, but still very modern and stylish.
The story about la Maison FAVART
But who are Monsieur and Madame FAVART you might ask?
They were the famous couple that established the renown of the beautiful Comic Opera in Paris.
Back in 1745 Charles-Simon FAVART was the director of the Comic Opera. He fall in love with the young and seductive actress and opera singer Justine DURONCERAY. They got married the very same year and so began the incredible story of the most famous couple in the history of Parisian theatre: Monsieur and Madame FAVART…
He wrote the plays and she acted in them. It was a real love story.
Today, their house has been turned into a fabulous 4-starred hotel. The perfect place for a weekend stay where you can combine relaxation with Parisien culture.
The rooms
I stayed in the Charles & Justine Deluxe bedroom number 41 one of La Maison Favart’s front rooms (pointing to the rue de Marivaux) with a stunning view to the Comic Opera…
It was almost like being in a spacious theatre box where I could observe everything that was going on on the square below…
And as the night fell on, the Comic Opera was enlightened and tranformed into a magical spot (probably one of the most beautiful sites in Paris).
I loved the big comfortable bed, it was everything I needed…
And the bathroom: elegant and sophisticated, kept in a very modern style…
The spa
Downstairs I found the spa! An unique place..Absolutely perfect for relaxation…
The water was fresh. And as I dived into it, just next to a cascade, I totally forgot about the bustle of Parisian life…it was amazing.. a source of inspiration…
In front of it I found the sauna…
This place was like a little bubble a part…there I could truely recharge my batteries…
There was even a fitness room.
I had an amazing time so before I knew it, it was time to dine.
The area
The concierge had some amazing ideas for places to eat..and what actually surprised me was the area, with narrow cobbled streets filled with elegant restaurants, cinémas and fancy stores. Everything you could need within 10 minutes walk.
I felt like being a princess in a magical house where everything is taken care of.
For breakfast
Next morning the breakfast was served at this beautiful place…
There was everything you could possibly dream of: salmon, croissants, yoghourt, fruit, coffee, pancakes and you name it…
I absolutely loved this hotel and look forward to come back!! It’s a must-try when you visit the city of love: Paris.
