Chambre des Muses
An Intimate Art Nouveau Sanctuary
Refinement, comfort, and heritage
Your Room: 33 sqm, south-facing with a wooden-slatted bathroom and a balcony.
overlooking the main courtyard and flower meadows.The Chambre des Muses is cheerful and bright with its faux-gold and light anise shades. The walls feature an original decoration painted by Jocco, a painter who reinterprets the spirit of floral fantasy cherished by Art Nouveau creators in a contemporary way. Enjoy the refinement of 1900 with herringbone oak parquet flooring, polished with beeswax, a marble and brass fireplace, and silk curtains.
The en-suite facilities include a private walk-in shower room with a second private balcony, an original hand-carved solid walnut dressing table, a beautiful wooden washstand topped with natural Pyrenean marble, and an exquisite 1900 hand-painted porcelain toilet.
The room is also equipped with a charming writing desk where you can compose your letters or work in absolute peace, accompanied by high-speed Fibre Wi-Fi.
The bedding:
A majestic double bed, 150 x 200 cm.
It is the new standard of the late 19th century, reinventing the matrimonial bed, where couples sleep together rather than in "3-cuisse" beds (which are 110 to 120 cm wide) where one used to sleep alone, occasionally inviting company.
The furniture and decoration:
Your room is furnished with authentic pieces from the finest workshops of early 20th-century French designers, those who invented Art Nouveau. These pieces alone justify the term Hotel-Museum.For smokers
It is possible to smoke outside, especially on your bedroom balcony where an ashtray is available.

Living at Bagatelle
We aim to immerse you in a 1900-1920 universe. As many elements as possible are original, sometimes reconstructed using materials and techniques true to the period: repurposed old parquet, beeswax finishes, linseed oil paint for woodwork, vintage curtains, and museum-quality furniture. The original sanitary fixtures and fittings have been restored. These objects and materials are often no longer part of our daily lives. Coming to Bagatelle for a few nights is about being surprised and ready to relearn the behaviors, gestures, and attentions of our grandparents.
KINDLY PAY ATTENTION
Please be particularly careful about:
DO NOT WET THE ROOM'S WOODEN FLOOR
by walking on it with wet feet after leaving the bathroom.
AVOID WETTING THE HEADBOARD
with damp hair or when wrapped in a towel.
Water removes wax and damages the wood's patina, which will need to be restored.
DO NOT PLACE WET OR COLD GLASSES ON THE TABLES.
