LE CINQ
PARIS, FRANCE
Four Seasons Hotel Georges V is everyone’s daydream coming true.
As you cross the entrance you are immediately astonished by the
majestic decoration and the chic details. Immediately, you are as-
sisted by the kind employees that are at your service. You cross at
your left and you are redirected to Le Cinq, one of Four Seasons

La Galerie for a refreshment. Fashionable Parisians as well as classy
tourists have there their drinks amid breathtaking tapestries, 19th-
century paintings and furniture.
We are immediately impressed by the exquisite dining room, outfit-

ated specifically for this legendary hotel. Unveiled at the end of the
famous Historical Gallery, behind two majestic wrought iron doors
it is furnished in a classic French-English style. There are beautiful
furniture French and Louis medallion chairs XVI gilded to the leaf.
From this set bathed in light with rich tones, a warm and cozy at-
