Jacques & Laurent Pourcel and Olivier Château are keen of art and for the past 15 years (since the opening of Le Jardin des Sens) they have acquired a collection of young artists’ paintings.
In their restaurant Le Jardin des Sens, the art is “at home”. Each year, they invest in several paintings. This collection of contemporary paintings was born from emotions, feelings, and encounters.

Said Jean Dubuffet: « L’art est toujours là où on ne l’attend pas » (Art is always where it is not expected to be.”)
Unusual in a hotel or in a restaurant, the painting adds to the space its colours, volumes and forms. From one painting to another, from a favourite work of art to a newly discovered painting, it’s a happy wander fool of silences and emotions.

The art of painting has its place all over the different spaces of the hotel: lobby, floors, rooms, suites and even dinning room and basement. All these paintings, regularly, change place, from a room to another.

Invitation to discover the itinerary of a painting collection constantly on the move, for the sole pleasure of the eye, through the talent of young artists: Djamel Tatah, Bernard Quesniaux, Philippe Hortala, Emmanuelle Renard, Hervé Di Rosa, Robert Combas, Carole Benzaken, Pierre François, Jacques Bosser, Jean-Pierre Formica, Pepe Cerda, Xiao Fan, Philippe Hurteau, Christine Foulché, or as well Michel Huelin.
