HOTEL MILLESIME
Quaint and quiet charmer in Saint-Germain
RECENT RENOVATIONS of this
handsome 17th century townhouse in the heart of the Left Bank have turned a small slice of Saint Germain into a colourful helping of Provence with all the big-city trimmings.
Brilliantly located on Rue Jacob, Hôtel Millésime retains all its Parisian feel while broad-brush strokes of characteristic blues, reds, golds and oranges encourage thoughts of the sunnier Med, carried through into a
captivating terracotta painted courtyard with sub-tropical plantings. On balmy days or come dusk it’s just the place for early evening aperitfs. Staff are solicitous about their guests’ enjoyment, and the best of Paris is right outside.
Blues and sunshine yellows predominate in the Millesime's 22 nicely decorated rooms, making them guaranteed to cheer the greyest day. They’re soundproofed and a decent size too, and some at the rear have views over the pretty courtyard – doubly cheering when the magnolia tree is in full bloom.
Hit the Spot
Just behind Boulevard Saint-Germain.
Bedtime
Rooms at the rear have courtyard views, while upper rooms offer glimpses of Paris rooftops.
Be Savvy
Be sure to pop into the Ladurée tearooms across the road for the yummy macaroons.
Be Smitten
Great location, great style.
Vaulted breakfast room
Breakfast (brought to your room if you prefer) is served in the vaulted breakfast room, where
russet slip-covered chairs contrast smartly with whitewashed brick walls.
No apologies for banging on about the Left Bank’s charisma – it’s manifestly palpable, and the Millésime is right in the thick of things.
Mooch around antique shops, galleries and trendy boutiques, pop into an église or two, or hang out in cute cafés and jazz clubs. Rue Jacob has it all – peace aplenty, the street buzz of Saint-Germain around the corner and one of the city's best tearooms.

See & Do
Where do you start in Paris? Or more accurately, where do you go next? Close by are the hugely famous attractions such as the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysées. If there's time, an after-dark cruise on the river Seine aboard a Bateau Mouche will help tick a few boxes on the must-see list – and make you realise why Paris is the world's most romantic city.
Shop
Browse through the galleries of the Marais, buy some sexy lingerie on the Left Bank or take a look at the wonderful French cheeses on display in Alléosse, in the 17th. Look out for signs flagging up
Dépôts-Vente, stocked with barely worn designer outfits at bargain prices.
After dark
There are plenty of great bars around Bastille and the Marais, while Pigalle and Montmartre are better known for cabaret and small theatres. Have a late-night drink in one of the cafés lining the great Parisian boulevards or bar-hop your way through the Quartier Latin.
