Saint-Germain-des-Prés was originally commissioned as a shelter for King Childebert I’s relic of the True Cross, broungth back from Spain in AD 542. Despite the outside’s very Romanesque architecture, inside the church are many interesting examples of 19th century art. One such piece includes a series of stained glass windows showing scenes from the Old Testament. The church currently does excellent organ concerts on its antique organ.

Confidential Hotel Paris

Just a few steps from the Jardin du Luxembourg, opposite the Atelier de la Grande Chaumière, a well-known art school, the Hotel des Academies et des Arts remembers the roaring twenties, when Montparnasse was a magnet for artists. Inspired by the hotel’s past and the history of the neighbourhood, Charlotte and Laurent wanted to revive the Hotel des Academies et des Arts’ artistic heritage by bringing together several artists to create an original backdrop for contemporary works of art.

Sophie de Watrigant and Jérôme Mesnager have invested the place with their artistic imagination. Sophie’s sculptures are dotted around the lobby and the “petit bistrot”, going right up the main staircase, where small figures climbing ladders are suspended in the stairwell. Jérôme Mesnager’s jointed figures are painted directly onto wallpaper which serves as his canvas. Take the lift up to the top floor and admire another of Mesnager’s works as you ascend. A white giant also appears on the red-painted wall of the inner courtyard and can be seen from the ground floor right up to the fifth floor at the Hotel des Academies et des Art in Saint Germain des Pres, Paris.
