I just posted two articles that are related: 6 Mandel, an elegant chambre d’hôte in Paris with views of the Eiffel Tower and a profile of French fabric designer, Philippe David, who designed many of the fabrics used in 6 Mandel.

6 Mandel is an insider tip (from Philippe). They don’t advertise, the site is in French but it’s really a fabulous place to stay in Paris. Instead of a garden-variety hotel, why not try 6 Mandel which is housed in a recently renovated 19th century mansion and functions as an art gallery by day?
