The rooms were elegant yet warm, with historical charm and a wonderful view and had all the appointments including a nice bathtub. It was kept wonderfully clean. The staff was exceptionally helpful and spoke both English and French. They assisted us with everything from extra pillows ( they are big and fluffy ) One morning we wanted to grab some croissants and coffee at somewhere 'special' so they directed us on where to get them and where to sit and enjoy them nearby Luxembourg Gardens. If you want a charming, historic hotel that is in the heart of St Germain, the Relais Saint Germain is it. This is my new 'home base' in Paris!!
