I'm home

Malet district in Paris, France is known for gaudiness of city life. Going through a stone pavement alley from the district center, there appears a sister hotel of "hotel costes" called "Hotel Bourg Tibourg". hotel costes is now the center of Paris social circles. It stands in a quiet area and gives a poised impression. This hotel is famous that the same designer of hotel costes, Jacques Garcia designed it. Even though it's only 2 in the afternoon, it's dimly lit and it's a condensed form of French aesthetic feeling and gives out ennui atmosphere.
This building was built in 1840s and the hotel used to be "RIVOLI-NOTRE-DAME". From the sound of that hotel name, Garcia associated with a French romantic literature novelist, Victor Hugo. Moreover, he was inspired by the only remaining Gothic-style entrance door, he incorporated medieval taste everywhere in the hotel. He greatly respects this 19th century architect, Eugene Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc who is known for restoring medieval buildings and Garcia designed this hotel as homage to Viollet-le-Duc.
In this modern air and space, this hotel carries medieval style everywhere and it's easy to see Garcia's respect for French history.
