Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain & Spa
Paris, France · Independent · Accessible Luxury
On 29 October 1921 James Joyce wrote from 1 Rue du Pré-aux-Clercs that the Ithaca episode was finished, and Ulysses with it. Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain now joins three old houses on that street, the first of them permitted in 1642, when Louis XIII let Jean Tambonneau, president of the Chambre des Comptes, build on the Pré-aux-Clercs. The vault where Léo Ferré began at the Quod Libet cabaret is a pool and hammam, and the 47 rooms reopened in April 2022.

- Entry-level rooms start at 194 sq ft (18 m²).
History
In 1642 Louis XIII authorized Jean Tambonneau, president of the Chambre des Comptes, to build a house on the Pré-aux-Clercs. Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain now joins three old buildings along Rue du Pré-aux-Clercs. James Joyce wrote from number 1 on 29 October 1921 that he had finished Ulysses. T.S. Eliot had resided on the site in 1910. Léo Ferré began his career in the Quod Libet cabaret in the vaults, now the spa. Didier Benderli redid the ground floor, and the 47-room hotel reopened on 1 April 2022 under Chevalier Paris.
