Simone de Beauvoir wrote The Second Sex on the top floor of 7 Rue de l'Hôtel Colbert, now the hotel's largest suite, on a quiet Latin Quarter street that runs down to the quay opposite Notre-Dame. The street borrows Jean-Baptiste Colbert's name, though nothing shows the minister ever owned the house. Meliá reopened the 39 rooms in December 2021, and Álvaro Sans and his daughter Adriana filled the corridors with Joaquín Sorolla's seaside light.

History
Maison Colbert is the hôtel particulier at 7 Rue de l'Hôtel Colbert, in the 5th. Simone de Beauvoir wrote The Second Sex and The Mandarins in an apartment on the top floor. In 1938 the building held the Turgenev Russian Library, until the collections were confiscated in the Second World War. The facades and roofs were listed in 1957. Álvaro Sans and Adriana Sans renovated the house for Meliá, using Joaquín Sorolla's color, and the hotel reopened in December 2021 with 39 rooms. The street is named for Jean-Baptiste Colbert. El País found no evidence he owned this house.
