Haven of serenity filled with history, L’Hôtel de L’Abbaye, located in a calm street close to the Luxembourg Gardens, is one of the most treasured jewels of our beloved 6th arrondissement.

Wakening to the song of birds from the garden, where trees and bushes mingle with ivy and flowers, your little ones will instantly feel the indescribable peace of the place, remnant of the former convent which gave its name to the hotel.  The delicate floral-print chairs, bedcovers, and drapes are also an echo the lovingly tended blossoms which where once grown by the Benedictines.

 

The interior design is typically French and very welcoming. With its large fireplaces, antique objects, engravings, paintings and oak beams and sitting alcoves, the place has a real soul and character. Children and parents alike will have the feeling of being invited into a chic country estate right in the middle of the Left Bank. With 44 rooms, including 4 duplex apartments each featuring its unique decoration, there is a style for every family.

A popular meeting place for local Parisians, the Abbaye's "Le Bar" features a wide selection of cocktails, fine wines, champagnes, and spirits which pay tribute to the heritage of France.

For children preferring to enjoy a drink and treat outside, the bar's bay windows open directly onto the terrace.

Our favorite room is the Grande Suite du Maine. Its golden wallpaper, deep burgundy bed and ancient portraits make us travel back in time…. The intimate and luxurious feel gave us the impression of entering royal apartments. We could not help but twirl with curtsey in our smocked dress!
