Located near the Champs-Elysées in the 8th arrondissement, Le Marianne (www.lemarianne.com) is the very image of Paris: both steeped in history and firmly rooted in its time. This beautiful building from the Haussmann period has been transformed into a modern and comfortable hotel in a chic, contemporary style that embodies French savor faire and joie de vivre. Inside, the assembly of material, like wood, stone, gives rhythm to the unique identity of this 4 star Parisian designed by the architect Charles Zana (www.zana.fr). (c) Yvan Moreau
