Esprit de France is a collection of characterful hotels, bringing together eleven addresses in Paris, Aix-en-Provence, and Lens, complemented by a network of partner residences — châteaux and exceptional houses — across the French regions. Each address cultivates a French art of living, rooted in history, art, and heritage.
The collection includes several hotels in the heart of Paris, mainly in the 1st, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th arrondissements. Some are just steps from the Louvre Museum, the Musée d’Orsay, the Tuileries Garden, Place Vendôme, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, or the Champs-Élysées. An ideal base from which to explore Paris on foot.
Yes. Every property in the collection is a characterful hotel, designed in the spirit of a boutique hotel: carefully curated décor, thoughtfully selected furnishings, art objects and artworks on display, and an intimate atmosphere far removed from standardised large hotel chains.
Yes. In addition to its hotels, Esprit de France works with a network of partner residences — châteaux and characterful houses — in the Loire Valley, the South-East, the South-West, Brittany, Normandy, Burgundy, Champagne, and Île-de-France. It is an opportunity to spend a night or a weekend in a unique heritage setting.
The addresses in the collection are perfectly suited to a romantic stay: heritage settings, rooms with distinctive charm, gardens, terraces and, for some partner residences, a natural environment that invites intimacy.
Yes. In Aix-en-Provence, Hôtel Le Pigonnet is home to Folie Verte, a 400 sq m spa dedicated to well-being, with a hammam, sauna, sensory bath, ice fountain, and personalised treatments.
Several properties offer rooms with views of monuments, gardens, or inner courtyards, while some also feature private terraces or balconies.
Every stay comes with signature touches that celebrate the French art de vivre: a welcome glass of champagne, a tasting of hot chocolate inspired by a historic recipe, or even a poem placed on your pillow. More than a night’s stay, it is the promise of heritage to be experienced.
