CHÂTEAU VOLTAIRE, A HIDDEN PARISIAN TREASURE
words by MARIE-PAULINE CESARI
Château Voltaire is a perfectly located gem in the heart of Paris. From the street, you’d never imagine how spacious and welcoming it is inside. We stayed there in December, and the festive decorations made it feel even more magical. Walking in, we were greeted by a stunning Christmas tree, setting the tone for a warm and memorable stay.
The first floor feels like stepping into someone’s beautifully designed home. There’s a cozy living room with a fireplace where we spent some time just soaking in the atmosphere. The attention to detail makes it so inviting—it’s the kind of space you want to linger in. We also had dinner at the restaurant, L’Émil, and it was fantastic. The tuna tartare with its perfectly crisp French fries was a highlight.
Our room was equally impressive. It struck the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, with thoughtful touches like a high-quality coffee machine and a chill area that was ideal for working or relaxing. The bathroom was a dream—completely done in marble with a massive shower that felt like a mini spa.
We wrapped up our stay with a breakfast that truly stood out. The pains au chocolat and croissants were the best we’ve ever had, perfectly flaky and buttery. It was the ideal way to start our day before heading back into the city.
Château Voltaire is a place that feels personal, thoughtful, and full of Parisian charm. Whether you’re visiting for the holidays or any other time of year, it’s an experience you’ll want to come back to again and again. See you soon Paris!
