Hôtel Littéraire Gustave Flaubert - Le petit déjeuner

Outside breakfast times (between 7 am and 10.30 am), the Jacques Guérin room offers a quiet space to work or relax under its light-filled Art-Deco glass roof.  The atmosphere is peaceful, thanks to the charming Proustian decoration, framed bindings of In Search of Lost Time by Jean de Gonet and its airy chandelier. 

With its graceful Belle Époque decoration, the lounge bar of the Hôtel Littéraire Le Swann is ideal for a relaxing break.  In a friendly atmosphere with a focus on gourmet food, take tea with a delicious madeleine near the library or let yourself be guided by the inspiration of the day. 

A timeless moment in a typical Parisian atmosphere, whose appeal lies in its quiet elegance.

Our MyWo coworking facilities offer you the perfect place to combine comfort and concentration.

It's a place where you can work on your own or with colleagues, meet business contacts or enjoy a friendly afterwork session. Our coworking space is open to people from outside the hotel.

From the simple use of a workspace to an online conference with your colleagues, we have all the equipment you need to make the most of your professional time.

The writer's works are available in paperback editions for all visitors and in many languages - English, Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Greek, Estonian, Turkish, Maltese, Catalan, Georgian, etc.

All you have to do is choose your favourite book by Proust (Swann's Way?  In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower?  Time Regained?) or one of the countless works on various aspects of his life and work by iconic authors.

There are many different reading areas in the hotel - unless you prefer the quiet of your room.
 

At the Hôtels Littéraires, there are displays of books, documents and collectors' items in specially designed showcases, which are accessible to all visitors.  At Le Swann, Haute Couture items from the Belle Époque era by the great couturier Jacques Doucet are displayed alongside Proustian first editions.  These works, whose interest lies in their rarity and their unique bindings, are regularly loaned for exhibitions on the theme of the world of Marcel Proust.

Manuscripts complete the collection, taken from correspondence by Proust and those close to him and from the drafts of his pages, the famous "placards" (corrected drafts).  The many period photographs enable visitors to immerse themselves in the Parisian world of yesteryear, centred on the iconic figures of Céleste Albaret and Laure Hayman.   

 

Historical map of Marcel Proust's Paris

This historical map of the period was created especially for Le Swann by graphic designer Ursula Held and literary consultant Hélène Montjean.  It suggests various walks in Paris in the footsteps of Marcel Proust.  With the bilingual paperback version, it is easy to explore the Plaine Monceau district, which is so full of Proustian memories.

Discover the addresses of the most exclusive aristocratic and bourgeois salons in the iconic Faubourg Saint-Germain, straight out of the pages of Marcel Proust, the places of his childhood and his successive homes.

 

The map is available in paper or digital !

Listen to audio excerpts (in French) from La Recherche while visiting the emblematic places of the novel, with the voice of Pierre-François Garel, recorded by Éditions Thélème. With the friendly supervision of Michel Erman.
