The Art of Living à la Française
Fresh from creating the timelessly elegant aesthetics of the celebrated Parisian haunt
Victoria 1836, Lavoine has collaborated with award-winning architect Vincent Bastie to
breathe new life into the 19th-century heritage structure that houses Le Roch.

uncluttered spaces, the public areas and guest rooms promote a new art of living à la
Française. “Le Roch reflects the real soul of the neighborhood where it stands: a village
atmosphere where the Parisian art de vivre retains a real feel at home feeling”, says
Lavoine of the hotel’s concept.

The interiors of Le Roch are defined by a sot, pastel-hued palette of sage, chartreuse,
and milky green, and natural, authentic materials. From Carrera marble to solid walnut
wood flooring, Kaldewei bathtubs and basins to Ressource paints, and furniture made
by Cassina—as well as custom pieces designed by Lavoine herself—the hotel has been
elegantly appointed with a discerning eye to detail and balance. Each of the 37 rooms
