Environment and atmosphere
Ville-d'Avray is a protected commune to the west of Paris, where numerous artists and writers have chosen to live for two centuries, away from fashionable life.
The pond-filled landscape has graced the canvasses of Corrot, brilliant forerunner of impressionism.
The new buildings constructed in the vicinity of period houses and a former dovecote respect the elegance of this classified site.
A charming place
Les Etangs de Corot has managed to protect the history of this charming place which has a human scale and offers a picturesque, elegant and harmonious setting. Taking advantage of the magical landscape, this lovely hamlet has been transformed into a delightful, 49-room, 4-star Hotel, in a league of its own,... like Corot's painting...
Surrounded by gardens and houses, inspiring a sense of well-being, the architecture displays a subtle pattern of levels, forms and light. Like a Corot painting, the decor adopts warm or pastels colours and elegant furniture makes this peaceful harmony complete. No space, no room is alike : each one has its own character, its own colour. And the salons and rooms overlook the ponds or the gardens.
