At the very heart of the Left Bank, L’Hôtel is an insiders’ address which seems to have remained intact since the 19th century. Designed by decorator Jacques Garcia, this very romantic port-of-call plays host to an intimate gastronomic restaurant extended by a charming terrace with a 16th-century fountain, where Chef Julien Montbabut proposes neo-classic cuisine. An address sheltered from prying eyes, ideal for taking a step back in time. L’Hôtel, 13 rue des Beaux-Arts, Paris 6 (01 44 41 99 01).
