Overlooking the Place des Vosges, a leafy public square, considered a mansion by some, a château by others, Cour des Vosges is experienced as an exceptional residence welcoming epicures, hedonists, history buffs, and lovers of Paris.

The butler hands over the key to the 12 rooms and suites, each of which feels like a pied-à-terre. Each landing recalls the architectural features of 17th-century buildings. Each hallway seems to lead, as in the past, toward stately apartments.  Among the 12 rooms, the suites on the second floor of Cour des Vosges have stunning views of the place des Vosges. The higher up you go, the more the panorama expands. From the suites on the second and third floors, you rise above the tops of the linden and horse chestnut trees in the garden.

An esoteric spot and a hotel unlike any other, Cour des Vosges instantly invites you to immerse yourself into the life of a noble French family dating back to the 16th century. A family of art lovers and collectors that has enjoyed gathering sculptures, ceramics, tapestries, and furnishings over the decades, representing various artistic movements and the experiences of generations of patrons of the arts.

To maintain the customs of French art de vivre, 19 Place des Vosges contains a restaurant. It offers light gourmet fare for breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner. The “Brach-La Pâtisserie” corner also presents a selection of sweet treats concocted by pastry chef Yann Brys, who was named Meilleur Ouvrier de France.
