B&B Guénot

A garden! In central Paris! A restful corner and quiet, well-travelled hosts with their 10-year-old son to greet you after a day of cultural excitements. The architect-renovated apartment, a delight of clever design, embraces their private garden. All rooms turn towards the greenery, including your charming compact bedroom with its timber floor, large oil painting and wonderful bathroom so, once through the door that leads off the red-leather sitting room, you are in this intimate space, there to enjoy your wide window on to bird-twitter. A generous continental breakfast – and you're ready for more museum fare.
