After a full day of work, or play, or visits in Paris, two generous leather sofas and three armchairs grouped around the fireplace invite you to relax with a book, to check your mail or catch up with your family or with the world news (good internet and television – with BBC World, CNN Bloomberg… as well as all French channels).
Look out over the historic Porte Saint Martin and in winter appreciate the effective central heating (fireplace not working).
