Out of sight, in a quiet little street at 3 minutes from the Luxembourg garden, the Hotel Sainte-Beuve named after the writer and literary critic of the 19th century, is an address that we share among initiates. Boutique hotel with 22 rooms, its French classic charm and cozy, is a parenthesis to the frantic pace of life in Paris. Not far from Montparnasse and great addresses that have made the area famous, we take the time for a drink, huddled in comfortable sofas, near the fireplace in the living room. The decoration of the hotel by David Hicks, a famous English designer, creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. A gourmet breakfast is proposed with fresh products and chosen especially for the guests. 5 minutes from Notre Dame-des-Champs and Vavin metro stations, Le Sainte-Beuve is the ideal choice for exploring Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a historic and cultural district of romantic Paris.
