This is a very pretty place for days, nights and years. We love its vintage feel with antique furniture and of course its terrasse! It is ideal for a snack, an evening cocktail or a Sunday brunch with friends. In any case, this is such a warm place it makes going get toug.
Not just a restaurant, Da Rosa is also a delicatessen, a laboratory of flavors known to fine gourmets. Here you can find the products of great chefs such as Hélène Darroze or Joël Robuchon, but also the best hams, foie gras, cheeses, teas and caviars, take them home, have them delivered or taste them on site.
Several spaces and lounges, each with a different atmosphere: a first space for 14/15 people at a table for two, three or four people, and following on, under a small, very Parisian glass roof, a small room for 10 people. Then a living room, facing the totally open kitchen, and a little further away, in total discretion, the “Voyages” living room which can be privatized for around twenty people.
A real 17th century residence in the heart of Saint-Germain, completely redesigned to meet current requirements, without losing any of its charm of yesteryear. Classy! The stone slabs that have become lustrous over time, its Versailles parquet floors, its period furniture, its monumental fireplace in Burgundy stone and, nobility obliges, its genuine Aubusson tapestries in the reception rooms, make the Hôtel d’ Aubusson is an exceptional place whose address you almost want to keep to yourself or share it only with connoisseurs of French luxury.
A real 17th century residence in the heart of Saint-Germain, entirely rethought to answer to the actual expectations without losing anything from the charm of its past.
Mais l’Hôtel d’Aubusson réserve également une surprise de taille à ses convives avec un sublime spa qui n’est pas accessible à la clientèle extérieure.

Massages et soins y sont également proposés avec les produits Le Labo pour le corps et Phytomer pour le visage.
The Avant-Comptoir is in some way the annex of the Comptoir du Relais, but it is also for gastronomes an essential place for an aperitif worthy of the name to share with your beloved one or with friends. The tapas are fabulous and we love this very particular atmosphere where everything happens unexpectedly around the Comptoir, in good company.
Jean Royère’s works of art made Jacques Lacoste want to open a gallery specialized in design of the 1940s – 1950s and for ten years he has been the one that people consult for an advice or a valuation on the works of art of this great designer. He is also the one who shows this work whenever he gets the opportunity on the other side of the Atlantic. But is does not prevent him from showing the works of Serge Mouille, Alexandre Noll, Georges Jouve or Pierre Szekely.

Sophie and Mathieu Richard present pieces of the great French designers of the 1950s : Royère, Adnet, Jouve, Perriand, Prouvé, du Plantier but the gallery concentrates on the work of Mathieu Matégot, an inevitable post-war figure. Matégot was the first one to work metal as others work paper or material, by folding it or piercing it.
The scents of the Dyptique Candles have become indispensable, but there are other candles which are in harmony with them to give places we love a genuine character. Cire Trudon, a Royal Manufacture with an ancestral knowledge, which is the oldest candle factory in the world (1643) created them ! Here the perfumes are not identifiable at first “smell” but there are unique mixes which all reinterprete a moment of history and bring the legend of French taste to light : Empire, Pondichéry, Chandernagor, Odeur de Lune, Odalisque or Carmelite, Empire, Dada…
And today a collection of eau de parfum, kept in precious bottles, with original and heady fragrances, imagined by perfumers Antoine Lie, Yann Vasnier and Lyn Harris: Elae, Aphédie, Médie, Bruma, Deux, Révolution, Mortel and Black Mortal. Fragrances that also tell a whole story and embody a personality more than a genre.
Marie-Hélène de Taillac’s jewels are our favorite talismans. The designer spends six months per year in Jaïpur where she chooses her stones and makes them cut by Indian craftsmen. Briolettes, tourmalines, chalcedonies, they are all exceptional, and set in a way that they seem to be floating in the hollow of our necks or on our fingers. We are crazy about them !
After the Puces de SaintOuen, Guilhem Faget and Alexandra Goult have arrived in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the other design hot spot ! Their Light selection from the 50’s to the 70’s favours Maria Pergay, Gino Sarfatti, Pierre Paulin or less famous names like Ben Swildens or Xavier Féal. You can also spot their favourite artist Claude Morin’s glass creations scattered across the shop.
Pierre Marcolini a real discovery of chocolate, from Mexico to Madagascar, from Venezuela to Jave Isle and from Ecuador to Ghana. But one must not forget to taste his delicious and original pastries.
