Your Suite: 42 m², East- and South-Facing

with an entrance vestibule, a dressing room, a bathroom with a large bathtub/shower, a terrace, and a balcony.

Madame’s Room is one of the most beautiful rooms in the villa, entirely designed for the well-being and prestige of the lady of the house. The room is spacious and bright, with a sophisticated beige and blue decor inspired by Louis XV, reimagined by 1900s decorators. It features magnificent and imposing ceiling mouldings, perched nearly 4 metres above a waxed oak parquet floor. It is bathed in morning sunlight, bringing you energy from the moment you wake. External shutters and internal wooden blinds allow you to darken the room.

The polished brass and sculpted white marble fireplace complements the floral garland woodwork above the French windows. The walls are adorned with a contemporary fabric featuring trailing patterns. In the dressing room, lined with golden fabric and facing the French window, there is a vanity for make-up. The bathroom is designed in the boudoir style beloved by elegant women of the 1900s: wood panelling, a fireplace, glass tile decor, and two mirrors—one 18th-century and the other Art Nouveau—reflecting the abundant light from the large French window.

Traditionally, Madame’s Room comes with a large terrace. Madame Juppet had a 30 m² east-facing terrace built. It is equipped with a teak outdoor lounge. Before the trees in the park had grown, one could see the banks of the Rhône, the hills on the opposite shore, and the Alps. Since then, as a nod to the industrial fervour of the early 20th century, the production facilities of France’s second-largest metropolis have appeared in the distance, visible through the curtain of trees. To the south, there is a large balcony furnished with a table and two chairs, open to the park and the plane tree terrace.

Villa Bagatelle, listed as a Historic Monument, is one of the very first Hotel-Museums. Four years of restoration have allowed it to regain its charm and vibrancy. Many elements have been repaired, sometimes rebuilt to be as close as possible to the original materials and techniques.

The Bed:

A majestic 170 x 210 cm double bed.
This is a family bed, specially built around 1905 for Bernadette’s great-grandparents. Joseph was particularly tall and must have liked his comfort. The bed, decorated with sculpted pansy flowers, is inspired by Louis XV; it reflects the aspirations of the traditional bourgeoisie, for whom the 18th century was a reliable reference for good taste.

The Furniture and Decoration:

Your room is furnished with authentic 19th- and 20th-century pieces, some from the best French creator workshops. These alone justify the name Hotel-Museum. You also have a magnificent contemporary work desk designed by Matthieu and crafted by the Mari & Femme workshop.

For Smokers

Smoking is permitted outdoors, particularly on the balcony and terrace of your room, where ashtrays are provided.
