Le Petit Moulin
High-fashion maximalism meets intimate boutique. Lacroix's signature mix-and-match of eras, textures, and references fills every corner — from rococo to couture to mid-century. The scale is deliberately small and personal, more like staying in a very stylish private house than a hotel.
The Junior Suite on the top floor has exposed beams and a sofa bed — great if you want extra space, but it's stairs-only access
Why It Matters
Christian Lacroix designed every room individually, making this his first-ever hotel project. The building itself is a listed 17th-century structure that began as Paris's oldest bakery. The facade has barely changed since 1900, and the 'Boulangerie' sign still confuses passersby. It's part of the small, family-run Chevalier Paris group and has a listing in both the Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels.
A 4-star boutique hotel entirely designed by Christian Lacroix — his first hotel project — tucked inside what was originally the oldest bakery in Paris, dating to the reign of Henri IV. The 1900 boulangerie façade is a classified historical monument, and the sign still reads 'Boulangerie', so first-time visitors do sometimes walk past it. Inside, every one of the 17 rooms is a different world: think bold wallpapers, Venetian mirrors, toile de Jouy, damask prints, and Baroque flourishes. No minimalism here, and no twee antique-heavy Parisian hotel clichés either.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Comfort Room
The entry-level room at about 16m², located on the ground floor or top floor. Compact but not unpleasant — Lacroix's design work means even the smallest rooms feel considered rather than afterthought. Shower only, no bathtub. King or queen bed; twin configuration available on request.
King or Queen (Twin on request) · 16 sqmDeluxe Room
The most numerous room type at 11 out of 17 total units — ranging 22–25m². These are where the full Lacroix vision really lands, with floor-to-ceiling patterned wallpapers, bold color combinations, and bathrooms featuring slate, Venetian mirrors, or kaleidoscopic ceramic tilework. All come with bathtub.
King · 24 sqmJunior Suite
The largest room in the hotel at 35m², set in the attic on the top floor with exposed wooden beams. One king bed plus a sofa bed, so it can sleep three. Lacroix's design is particularly theatrical here — think pitched ceilings, polka dot carpeting, mohair chairs, and a living area with flat-screen TV. Important note: top floor is stairs-only, no elevator access. Shower, no bathtub.
King + Sofa Bed · 35 sqmSuperior Room
A step up from Comfort at 20m², each with its own personality courtesy of Lacroix. Includes a dedicated office/desk space and bathtub or shower depending on the specific room. King bed standard, twin on request.
