Welcome to Madeleine de Senlis
Entering the Hôtel Madeleine de Senlis is like taking a leap back in time and stepping into a 19th-century Parisian salon. Madeleine de Senlis welcomes you into her home, sharing her love for culture, her personal collections, and her art of hospitality. All the vibrant and worldly figures of the Saint-Germain district cross paths in her salon, a melting pot where ideas are exchanged, and literary and artistic debates flourish. Proust studies high society here, the Countess of Ségur shares memories of her beloved Russia, and George Sand reminisces about Nohant and Berry.
Settle into her salon in a velvet armchair under the gilded portraits and the crystal chandeliers. This festive past will emerge as a reminiscence of the place, and other Madeleines will spark your curiosity. This space is also a tribute to historical figures known for their dedication, generosity, intelligence, and creativity.
Welcome to Madeleine de Senlis
IN THE HEART OF THE LATIN QUARTER
It's here, in the 5th arrondissement, that rue Malebranche nestles, a cobbled street between the Panthéon and the Luxembourg Gardens, a quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle. Named after the philosopher Nicolas Malebranche, it is a discreet thoroughfare in the Latin Quarter. For centuries, this district has been the beating heart of Parisian literary life, home to institutions such as the Sorbonne, historic bookshops and legendary cafés. This Left Bank address invites you to stroll through the Jardin des Plantes, the lively squares that students, professors and writers continue to frequent, perpetuating a tradition of intellectual exchange and artistic creation. It's a timeless Paris, immersed in history, with Mont Sainte-Geneviève on the site of the Gallo-Roman city of Lutetia, which stretched around the forum beneath what is now Rue Soufflot.
