Our experience

We visited le Petit Moulin and met some of the team. It was great fun! The manager is charming and very professional. The rooms are all different. The reception is in French, English or German.

 

A historic bakery

In the 16th century, during the reign of Henri IV, this was the site of the oldest bakery in Paris. The façade, renovated in 1900, is listed as a historic monument. Legend has it that French writer Victor Hugo, who lived on the Place des Vosges, used to come here to get his bread!

 

The rooms

The hotel offers 16 rooms and 1 suite, each decorated in an entirely unique and personalized style. Rooms range in size from 16m² to 35m² for the largest. The decor is daring, atypical and colorful: mirrors on the ceiling, ceramic kaleidoscopes, panoramic wallpapers, a baroque atmosphere, flower and stripe motifs, etc. It's all superb and very tasteful. It's all superb and very tasteful.

Some of our favorite rooms:

1 • Comfort Room • Photo • 🦋
2 • Superior Room • Photo • 🪞
3 • Deluxe Room • Photo • 🚀
4 • Junior Suite • Photo • 🌸

Depending on the room you choose, you'll enjoy the following amenities: king-size bed, air conditioning, Codage hospitality products, bathtub, Nespresso coffee machine, flat-screen TV and hairdryer. The Junior Suite features exposed beams, a bathroom with bathtub, 35m² of floor space and the signature Christian Lacroix design.

 

Breakfast

In the morning, enjoy a gourmet breakfast featuring pure butter pastries, local and seasonal produce, fresh fruit juices and a selection of hot beverages. Breakfast is served in your room or in the dining room. In the evening, head to the honesty bar for a glass of champagne or wine, especially after a long day exploring the city.

 

Location

You are in the heart of Paris, only 30 min walk from the Louvre Museum, 20 min walk from Notre-Dame and 5 min walk from the Picasso Museum. Nearby, the Rue des Rosiers, the epicenter of the Parisian Jewish community, is worth discovering for its very pleasant atmosphere. The Marais district is full of fashion boutiques, gourmet addresses and romantic curiosities.

Close to the Opéra Bastille, we discovered an ultra-sympathetic and romantic wine bar: Les Amoureuses. The place offers a large communal table (our photo) and a small secret table (our photo) for 2 people. Golden welcome, vintage music and unanimous online reviews. Try the orange wine as a matter of urgency. This video on Instagram should whet your appetite.
