We often mention the 2013 PHPA exhibition (Photo d’hôtel, photo d’auteur – otherwise known as A Hotel Photo, An Artist’s View) and its main prize of 3,000€, but you may not remember that the staff from our hotels also participate in voting for PHPA, by choosing the photo they prefer.

The winner of this vote wins what we have named the Virginie Clément prize (Virginie was an much-loved employee who fell ill and left us too soon), and voting in each hotel is always a good way of getting everyone together in a relaxed atmosphere.

This year’s result will be announced in a couple of days, but in the meantime, take a look at these photos of the staff of the Jardin de l’Odéon, Hôtel Design Sorbonne and La Belle Juliette contemplating the photos in the running this year…
