Paris hide away

Full disclosure! This is a hotel in Marais which is run by my brother-in-law. After leaving the business and a lovely Chateau hotel behind in Normandy, he now emerged with a stylish enclave in the outskirts of the Marais.

Friendly staff, nicely designed, with an amazing courtyard and bar. Just right for a short stop over in Paris.

11 Rue des Gravilliers, 75003 Paris
