Nicolas Sarkozy celebrated his 2007 election victory at Paris’s 62-room Hotel Barriere Le Fouquet’s, in its legendary restaurant Brasserie Fouquet’s. The staff formed a victory tunnel for him when he departed following an overnight stay.
I follow in his footsteps (minus the victory tunnel) with an overnight stay at the hotel on the way to the Alps with my family and can confirm that it’s a fitting place for VIPs – and five-year-olds who love swimming pools.
