LASplash.com: International Hotel Caron De Beaumarchais Review - Where to Stay in Paris By Paula Jessop
Hotel Caron De Beaumarchais is a sojourn into the past...
The Hotel Caron De Beaumarchais is named after the 18th century playwright Pierre August Caron De Beaumarchais who lived close by just up the street at 47, rue Vieille du Temple. There Beaumarchais wrote “Le Mariage de Figaro” in 1786 which was adapted to Motzarts “Le Nozze de Figaro”. In 1776 Beaumarchais founded the trading house from which he supplied George Washington and the American Revolution with ships and gunpowder until Independence in 1782.
Hotel Caron De Beaumarchias has 19 rooms which reflect the French “art de vivre” which was invented in Paris in the 18th century. They evoke the joy and charm of a private house where the furniture, antiques, original beams and the refined details: pretty fabrics, bathrobes, flowers in the rooms, framed 18th century documents off the Paris theatre scene, all gently combine to create the feeling of stepping back into a Paris of long ago. As you wander in this little gem you may step into a room that looks as if past inhabitants have just stepped out. There illuminated by candles and the fireplace sits a rare 792 Piano Forte next to a card table with a game abandoned mid-play. Who knows if you enter quickly enough you may just catch the rustle of silks and satins as the ancient inhabitants are departing.
Each room has a private bathrooms with a toilet, hair dryers, air conditioning, soundproofing, mini-bars, satellite television with CNN, LCD flat Screen TVs, WIFI/DSL internet connection and a lift to all floors.
Hotel Caron De Beaumarchais is in a perfect location in the heart of Paris in one of the most fashionable areas recently renovated Le Marais. The cobblestone streets, elegant mansions and mix of smart boutiques, convivial wine-bars and bistros make it irresistible.
It is within walking distance of museums and historical sites such as:
All 19 charming rooms in the Hotel Caron De Beaumarchais evoke the feeling of a private house in the 18th century in the time of Beaumarchais and Mozart.
