Description :

Located in a tranquil street half way between the Paris Opera House and the Gare du Nord railway station (EUROSTAR), the Franklin seduces immediately by the charm and comfort of its décor. In the splendid entrance hall, a large trompe-l'oeil fresco painting will transport you into the calm atmosphere of a French-style garden. On the ground floor, the rooms open directly onto a delightful patio. In fine weather, it's a great place for taking it easy, far from the rush of the city life. The area in the last century was known as "New Athens" because of its superb town houses inspired by the architecture of ancient Greece. It was here that many figures in the arts and literature chose to live, including Chopin, Berlioz, Delacroix and George Sand. The painter Toulouse-Lautrec's last studio was located here also.
