Le 5 Particulier, more than a hotel or a mansion, a real little
"country house".

A former 19th-century private mansion, this building is brimming with history and anecdotes.
The building was constructed in 1865 by Gustave Gridaine (architect of the Medrano circus, commonly known as the Cirque de Montmartre).
Home of Gaston Calmette, appointed director of the daily Le Figaro in 1902. He is credited with revitalizing the newspaper's image after a difficult period, both financially and morally.
Monsieur Calmette lived at 5 Rue Paul Déroulède until his death on March 16, 1914, assassinated at the head of Le Figaro by Henriette Caillaux, wife of then Finance Minister Joseph Caillaux.
To this day, the affair is still referred to as one of the greatest French judicial corruptions of the era. Madame Caillaux emerged from her trial acquitted, without penalty or serious repercussions.
As Le 5 Particulier is very proud of its heritage, the façade of the hotel has never been altered. You'll also find wood panelling in certain areas, a reminder of this rich past, notably in the breakfast room and in the lobby, the former carriage entrance.
The second, Norman-style building at the far end of the property was added to the dwelling in 1923, by architect J.Reillat.
Once used as a guest house, it now houses our "Deluxes" and some of our "Garden Classics" rooms, with stunning views over our bucolic garden.
The last building is a much more recent addition, but no less charming.
On the ground floor, you'll find our maisonettes with their own private tree-lined terraces. On the second and third floors, you'll enjoy a breathtaking, relaxing view of the garden.
The 5 Particulier team is at your disposal to answer any questions or requests you may have.
We look forward to welcoming you,
