L’hôtel l’Inattendu,
a place with character

Here, Paris doesn’t reveal itself right away.

You have to take your time, look up, turn the right corner.

But once you're here… you won’t want to be anywhere else.

The Story of
the Street,
the Secrets of the Neighborhood

Workshops, Letters, and Secret Love Affairs…

There once was a garden.

Priests, students, whispered tales between the branches.

Then came a house. A workshop. Saws, wood, bursts of voices.

Walls that already knew how to listen.

On rue Chaplain, you’d come across artists, musicians, letters, and love stories that didn’t like to show themselves.

A street that wasn’t exactly well-behaved. Not too serious either.

Simone de Beauvoir slept here. Sartre, probably beside her.

Pockets full of ideas, dreams of changing the world.

A street with character. A story just waiting to be told.

Here, Art Steals the Show

Galleries, Bookstores, Museums… The Perfect Excuses to Wander

Art galleries tucked away in secret passageways.

Bookshops where you get lost and never mind.

The Zadkine Museum, its sculptures breathing in the shade of the trees.

The Brancusi studio, the Cartier Foundation, the Odéon theatre just around the corner...

Here, the walls remember, and the streets inspire.

Welcome to the arty side of the 6th arrondissement.

A Taste for the Good Things

Plates full, glasses well chosen, and smiles to match

Grand brasseries, tiny cafés, neo-bistros, pastries to swoon over.

Buttery croissants worth the detour, a proper espresso on the terrace.

Flavour on the plate, character in the cellar, and always a friendly smile.

You’re surrounded by great places — and if you ask, we’ll whisper our favourites.

(But not all of them. That would spoil the fun.)

Wander Freely: No Map, No Pressure, No Regrets

Left, right, wherever. Paris as we love it.

The Luxembourg Gardens, just steps away — perfect for dreaming, reading, or reinventing the world.

Rue de Rennes, for browsing or shopping.

The Seine’s banks, for walking without purpose, just because it feels good.

Here, no itinerary needed.

We just suggest you look up, turn at random, and let yourself go.

That’s often when Paris is at its best.

Our Little Spots, Just for You (Shhh…)

Real Tips. No Gimmicks.

You like surprises? So do we.

Swing by reception — we’ll share a few addresses not to miss… but keep it quiet.

(And if you have any of your own, we’re all ears.)
