Theatrical Napoleonic caprice
Rose-bedecked timber beams, leopard motifs, and a hidden cloistered courtyard set an eccentric, theatrical tone in this Marais townhouse.

What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
Eccentric and baroque, the décor by Bambi Sloan... evokes post-Revolution freedom and frivolity through stripy flower cockades and black and white toile de jouy wallpapers.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tucked on Rue d'Ormesson in the Marais, cobblestone lanes lead directly to Place des Vosges and the Saint-Paul metro station.
The rooms
Rooms mix archival floral wallpapers and leopard-print carpets, paired with bathrooms clad in black and white marble mosaics.
JoBo Bar & Tea Room
Round brass tables host afternoon tea beneath painted ceiling beams, shifting to craft cocktails and champagne by night.
How it began
Built over a seventeenth-century convent, the townhouse reinterprets neoclassical Directoire style as an eccentric tribute to Empress Joséphine Bonaparte.
