These six sumptuous hotels, each within easy reach of the city, offer a quieter way to connect with the reawakened cultural spirit of the capital and beyond this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s something uniquely compelling about a city in the few years after it has hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Once the final medals have been awarded and the grandstands are cleared, it finally has the chance to exhale and comfortably settle into its newfound glory \u2013 energised, resculpted by years of investments, and still warm to the touch with a deep sense of national pride and introspection that only comes with having spent nearly a decade preparing to show your best face to the world. Some refer to this as the \u2018post-Olympic glow\u2019. Whatever you choose to call it, Paris is wearing it gorgeously right now, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city has embraced its Olympic moment not as a finish line but as a starting point, and 2025 is already off and running with a wave of exciting developments. The Seine is being reborn as a lived-in waterway, with new urban swimming spots opening this year as a direct result of one of the city\u2019s most ambitious ecological cleanup efforts that began before the games. Across the capital, the Grand Paris Express \u2013 Europe\u2019s largest transport project \u2013 is transforming how locals and visitors move through the metropolis, linking the city centre with creative, emerging districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s plenty stirring on the art and epicurean front also. The legendary queer painter David Hockney is preparing for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondationlouisvuitton.fr\/en\/events\/david-hockney-25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">largest exhibition<\/a><\/strong> of his career at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in April, meanwhile, over at the Pompidou Centre, <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centrepompidou.fr\/en\/program\/calendar\/event\/VRo249Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paris Noir<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is turning heads and reframing narratives in a landmark exhibition that explores the creative legacy of Black artists in Paris. Not only that, but the city has gained nine new Michelin-starred restaurants in the past year alone, reaffirming its place at the centre of global gastronomy (as if it needed to do so).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been less than a year since we last touched down in the City of Light \u2013 drawn not only to the effervescent energy of the world\u2019s greatest sporting event but also by our mission to shape our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/product\/outthere-the-paris-is-turning-issue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paris is Turning issue<\/a><\/strong>. In its making, we scoured each arrondissement for hotels that we thought were worthy of our readers\u2019 attention, from storied grande dames to under-the-radar boutiques. Now, on our return, we\u2019re extending our curious eyes beyond the P\u00e9riph\u00e9rique and to the city&#8217;s outskirts, where a few particular properties are serving up a taste of slow-simmered French decadence. Each within easy reach of the capital, these stays are well-suited to any traveller who wants to dip in and out of the buzz while having a more peaceful base to return to, or experience an altogether quieter expression of the French art de vivre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Airelles Ch\u00e2teau

A lavish restoration, based on an original 18th-century inventory, had fabrics recreated by textile house Maison Pierre Frey and original furniture sourced from auction houses across Europe. Hotel staff wear period costumes, and dining options include highly theatrical royal feasts and banquets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatments by Valmont in the opulent spa, too, have regal themes \u2013 Sun King massage, anyone?

Primard, a member of Relais &amp; Ch\u00e2teaux, sits in 40 lush acres of meadows and forest. Its ravishing gardens are home also to outbuildings containing a restaurant and 450 sqm\/4,800 sqft spa, and incorporate a picturesque moat with rowing boats and a smart outdoor pool. Highland cows, chickens and donkeys roam peacefully, on petting terms with staff and guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deliciously free of any trace of pomp or chintz, interiors take their cue from the main house&#8217;s Directoire architectural style, which, while sumptuous, elegantly avoids ostentation. Airy rooms and suites soothe with fresh pastel colours, exposed, ancient beams and simple furniture, and gently quirky design touches in the shared spaces play with the classical aesthetics to keep the ambience relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hotel\u2019s gastronomic jewel is the Michelin-starred Les Chemins, whose veg-dominated, sustainability-minded menus champion local, seasonal produce, much of which is grown on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesdomainesdefontenille.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.lesdomainesdefontenille.com<\/a><\/strong> | <a

Today, while it still has rough edges aplenty, this suburb is one of many benefitting from broad regeneration \u2013 and it\u2019s home to a very different kind of hotel stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mob House is designed in every detail around new models of nomadic working and socially conscious hospitality. Larger, modular rooms combine office and meeting spaces with a luxurious bedroom, while communal areas have areas for co-working. Design is urban but warm with an emphasis on natural materials such as wood and terracotta, while the striking bar stirs in industrial glamour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern, health-forward dining happens at the organic, locavore brasserie Feuille de Chou, whose tables spill out onto a large terrace in some 2,000 sqm\/21,500 sqft of leafy gardens. These also comprise a 20m\/65ft swimming pool, complemented indoors by a spacious and well-kitted daylit gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobhouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.mobhouse.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photography courtesy of Mob House, <em>words by Rupert Mellor<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Royal Champagne Hotel &amp;

Vall\u00e9e de Chevreuse, southwest of Paris. This is Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay, a 12th-century former Cistercian abbey open to guests since a \u20ac60m restoration in 2019. Divided across various buildings, its 146 guest accommodations include rooms, suites and standalone pavilions, all decorated in eccentric English country mansion style by Dior Maison\u2019s Cord\u00e9lia de Castellane (our favourite is the cute Pagode pavilion, a Zen-ish perch for two right on the lake).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public spaces include vast, richly styled vaulted salons, and six drinking and dining options, ranging from upscale French traditional, in Les Chasses, to the cosy, rustic vibes of L\u2019Auberge, to the jaw-dropping breakfast hall, formerly the monks\u2019 refectory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erstwhile stud-farm stables now house a spa and the whole place bristles with stuff to do, from rowing on the lake to petting the resident alpacas to catching a movie in the plush 49-seat cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abbayedesvauxdecernay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer

one of the world\u2019s most bustling capital cities from a decidedly slower stay in a region ranking among France\u2019s quietest corners, the famed &#8220;Valley of the Kings&#8221;, is rather curious indeed. But Paris is hardly out of sight and the Loire River barely in view when its relaxing effects begin to kick in. At Loire Valley Lodges, a treehouse hotel boasting 18 boutique lodges across some 300 acres of woodland idyll, guests can look forward to luxurious creature comforts from private hot tubs to breakfasts in bed while enjoying all that makes the soul smile: birdsong in the mornings, lengthy forest hikes, wild swims and leisurely picnics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also outdoor art installations that contrast with nature in a playful way (the 2023-opened property is the brainchild of Parisian art dealer Anne-Caroline Frey), and those in search of ultimate relaxation shouldn\u2019t miss out on the massages and wellness treatments that can be arranged to take place in the privacy of one&#8217;s owns lodgings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of the rooms, each comes with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing you to wake up to uninterrupted views of the lush surroundings, while some even feature special perks like private saunas or canopy beds that will make it hard to tear yourself away from the relaxed setting \u2013 just remember there\u2019s no rushing the good life in France&#8230; in fact, we can\u2019t think of anything less French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/loirevalleylodges.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.loirevalleylodges.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photography courtesy of Loire Valley Lodges, words by Steffen Michels<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the energy of the Olympic Games still lingering, it\u2019s an inspired moment to explore Paris \u2014 or rather, just beyond it.
