EMPREINTES

/

The first concept store dedicated to fine crafts and a cool new meeting place in the city. Located in the heart of Le Marais, this over 600 m² four-storey building, bathed in natural sunlight, takes visitors on a kind of voyage of discovery in a space that is at the same time an exhibition room, store, library and even a café. Jewellery, tableware, lights and small sculptures are all fine craft creations. A project born thanks to the initiative of Serge Nicole, president of Ateliers d’Art de France (the French trade union for fine crafts professionals), and scenographer Elizabeth Lerich.

The hotel has 2,636 square metres for meetings and events where some haute couture fashion shows are usually held.

HOTEL LE ROCH

/

The art of simplicity instead of showing off, that is its understanding of luxury. Le Roch Hotel & Spa, a 37-room boutique hotel with the spirit of a home and exquisite service, has been created around this idea. Its design is the work of the Parisian decorator Sarah Lavoine, who has managed to bring her personal style where blending is key with the predominance of her ‘favourites’ such as black, antiques, pieces she designed herself and photography of big names.
