We’re having the front of this beautiful building cleaned to look like new, and thought it would be interesting to put some photographs on the scaffolding…

Not any old photographs of course. Remember Tatiana Margaux Bonhomme? As part of our photo project “A hotel photo, an artist’s view”, we commissioned her to do a special series of photos that she called “Do as you please”, showing what some of our staff would dream of doing at work… if they could.

Peeking through keyholes, dancing at reception, sleeping in the rooms… the cheeky and amusing photos were part of our exhibition last October, and you can see more of them here.

Now they are also helping to liven up the scaffolding that will cover the Hôtel du Panthéon until March 2008. Go by and take a look if you can; after seeing the photos in our catalogue, it’s funny seeing some of them two storeys high!

Hôtel du Panthéon, 19 place du Pantheon, Paris 5th arrondissement
