International Women’s Day 2021

It’s International Women’s Day, a good time to remind you that the Hotel & Spa la Belle Juliette is entirely dedicated to the life of Juliette Récamier and that at the Hotel les Dames du Panthéon different inspiring women influenced the interior design of each floor.

On the first floor of the Hotel les Dames du Panthéon, you’ll find yourself in the world of the cocottes, flamboyant courtesans of the 19th century.

The second floor is inspired by the love between Édith Piaf and boxer Marcel Cerdan in the 1950s.

The third floor is more restrained, and based on the shift in society between the 18th and 19th centuries, the era of George Sand.

The jazz of 1940s Saint-Germain-des-Prés – and its muse, Juliette Gréco – lend the fourth floor its feel. Think deeper tones and touches of colour from framed sleeves of Miles Davis albums.

You might like to know that we once invited Madame Gréco to come and stay at the hotel (in 2014), and requested a portait by artists Elene Usdin, which she generously agreed to. It was a very special moment that we wrote about on the blog (here) and will never forget.

Signare women inspired the 5th floor and its joyous melting-pot of contemporary and traditional African motifs.

And on the top floor, you’ll find Asian influences inspired by the writings of Marguerite Duras.
