Head for Issy-les-Moulineaux to discover the magnificent Domaine Reine Margot, offering a precious breath of fresh air just a few minutes from the capital. This exceptional site offers a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower. Surrounded by unspoilt greenery, you’ll discover a magnificent gourmet restaurant, a hotel and even a speakeasy hidden away in a desecrated church…
A secret estate steeped in history and elegance at the gateway to Paris
From the moment you enter, you’re in for a treat. Entirely open onto a vegetable garden, this discreet historic estate, little-known to Parisians, offers a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower. The Tower seems almost surrounded by nature, blending perfectly into the landscape.
The history of this estate dates back to 1606, when Marguerite de Valois, better known as Reine Margot, took refuge here. After her death, the estate became the property of the Sulpicians. A woman of letters, a political figure and a free spirit , Reine Margot entertained poets, philosophers and sovereigns at her table. Today, her legacy permeates every detail of this five-star Spa hotel, restored after five years of painstaking work to bring back all its prestige to the original listed building.
Throughout the hotel, subtle nods pay homage to Reine Margot: rounded lines evoking femininity, motifs on the floor and ceiling inspired by the emblematic strawberry she wore, poems dedicated to nature inscribed on the walls… Past and present blend harmoniously.
A timeless restaurant and speakeasy
The cuisine at Le Marguerite features seasonal produce, mostly from the estate’s kitchen garden. The menu, resolutely bistronomic, celebrates plants while leaving a place of choice for lovers of meat and exceptional products. On Sundays, the restaurant transforms itself into a brunch venue, with a focus on taste and quality. And during the festive season, we offer a special menu!
But perhaps the highlight of the show is the Domaine’s speakeasy. Housed in the estate’s former chapel. Carefully restored, this place steeped in history is simply breathtaking. Here you’ll find a bar specializing in rum, with over 400 references from 35 countries, from the world’s finest distilleries. A rare experience, both intimate and spectacular, to be enjoyed at least once! You can visit all year round, whether you’re a hotel guest or not.
A veritable jewel at the gateway to Paris, Domaine Reine Margot is an enchanted interlude where heritage, nature and the art of living meet in elegance.
