Les Étangs de Corot
Ville-d'Avray, France · Independent · Core Luxury
Camille Corot painted these ponds for decades from his father's country house next door; the oldest basin is medieval, the second dug for Louis XIV's brother to water Saint-Cloud. The hotel occupies the site of the 1845 Auberge Cabassud, a riverside guinguette that earned an early Michelin mention in 1900. Forty-two rooms look over the water toward the Forêt de Fausses-Reposes, fifteen minutes from Paris and five from Versailles, with chef Rémi Chambard's Le Corot as the house restaurant.

About Les Étangs de Corot

- Ville-d'Avray, between Paris and Versailles. This is not a Left Bank hotel and not Versailles itself.
