The best hotels in Saint Germain

A mix of the affordable, the accessible and the most luxurious in Saint Germain

St-Germian-des-Prés is another area that no longer quite lives up to its legend: these days, it's more sartorial than Sartrian. In the middle third of the 20th century the area was prime arts and intello territory, a place known as much for its high jinks as its lofty thinking: the haunt of Picasso, Giacometti, Camus, Prévert and, bien sûr, the Bonnie and Clyde of French philosophy, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir; the hotspot of the Paris jazz boom after World War II; and the heart of the Paris book trade. This is where the cliché of café terrace intellectualising was coined, but nowadays most of the local patrons of the Flore and the Deux Magots are in the fashion business, and couturiers have largely replaced publishers. Never mind: it's a smart and attractive part of the city to wander around in, and also has some very good restaurants.

‘Bel Ami’ is taken from a novel by Maupassant which follows the rise of a seducer drunk on power and wealth. ‘Bel Ami’ means ‘good friend’ and was the nickname given to this character by the women in the book. The story has been adapted for the screen in around fifteen films and now a hotel has adopted the name. Hotel Bel Ami is suitably located in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris’ renowned literary quarter, in a former printing house which first published the novel.
