Celebrating 50 years
Pablo Picasso hosted his wedding banquet at Le Meurice. During the worldwide 50th year celebration of Picasso’s death, we invite you to discover the tale of romance and intrigue that set him on the road to riches in the world of the Belle Époque. Let our expert guide walk you through Montmartre’s cobblestone streets, as they bring the story of his early years in Paris roaring back to life.
Revolutionary Brushstrokes
Monet turned the term ‘Impressionist’ from a critic’s slur into an artistic revolution. From Le Meurice’s own rooftop, compare today’s view over the Tuileries Garden with the 1876 Monet. With an expert guided tour ending at Monet’s immersive water-lily panels, Musée de l’Orangerie, discover why an artist who is so universally admired, was considered so radical and rebellious in his day.
Love and Torment
Auguste Rodin lived a life full of contrasts, of dazzling highs and shattering lows. As part of our Legendary Artists’ series of walking trails, join us on an intriguing bespoke trail through the Tuileries Garden to the Musée Rodin with our expert guide. Discover how Rodin transcended his humble beginnings to achieve glittering recognition as the ‘father of modern sculpture’.
With a wealth of artful elements to share and fascinating stories to tell, I’m delighted to be a guide for our guests, both inside the hotel and around Paris.
