What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Though full of historical elements, the décor here has clearly been assembled with a contemporary eye.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Shaded cycling trails weave through the surrounding forest toward Saint-Cloud, with the Palace of Versailles just minutes away.
The rooms
Custom Pierre Frey wallpapers and Corot murals pair with zellige-tiled bathrooms, looking out over leafy gardens and water.
The baths
Outdoor whirlpool tubs sit on timber stilts directly over the water, and indoor spaces hold a traditional sauna and hammam.
The spa
Eight treatment rooms look out across the greenery and water, offering rituals from Phytomer and Kos Paris.
At the table
Dishes draw seasonal produce from the King's Kitchen Garden in Versailles, and covered terraces look directly across the ponds.
How it began
Landscape painter Camille Corot frequented this nineteenth-century lakeside guinguette, which also drew literary figures like Victor Hugo and Charles Baudelaire.
