Mail Review

A stately lime tree stands sentinel behind wrought-iron, wisteria-framed gates outside this 17th-century mansion on a calm street between the Hôtel de Ville and the river—but inside prepare for a modern surprise. An extreme makeover has given these interiors a spiffy, modern air. The blazing red reception area, smartly adorned with modern seating, segues to the upstairs guest rooms: rather petit, most are decorated in sunny yellow or pastel tones. Breakfast is available for an added price.
