A Gorgeous French Bed and Breakfast (B&B)

This French B&B called Le33 is unique in more than one way.
Situated about 1 hour from Paris, the B&B is in the beautiful
countryside in a gorgeous building that's been renovated.

This is the back of the house.

The lovely entrance.

An entrance to one of the rooms.

The dining room and kitchen is what I consider
to be the most beautiful room in the home.

This B&B is super reasonable in its rates. 70 Euros for 1 person
and 80 Euroes for 2 people - and it includes breakfast! That's
approximately $95 and $108 respectively. I doubt you can easily
find rates like that in the states - especially with rooms like these!
The rooms are clean with understated elegance.

What I think is also so unique about their decor is that it
is so homey and comfortable. I just can't believe what the
rates are for these beautifully appointed rooms. Someone
definitely has an eye for design.

I've seen my share of ugly, outdated and over the top
hotel rooms. Sometimes when I see a room in a decent
hotel that has really ugly fabrics, I just wonder who they
commissioned to design their rooms. The room above
absolutely shows that when done right, even the simplest of
rooms can be very welcoming and aesthetically pleasing.


I've been a big fan of gray lately.

This looks like an image from a movie.
Beautiful but mysterious with the mist.

Beautiful even in the winter with bare trees.

Ok here's the clincher - can you believe
this entire B&B was outfitted with Ikea
furnishings and hardware? Don't think
that Ikea is only for mod designs, this
French couple certainly made it work
for their B&B with a very French flair.

Their B&B was actually published in one of the
Ikea magazines.

The sitting area, storage, furniture, kitchen, rooms
and etc have mostly Ikea pieces. They mixed it
beautifully with a few key French pieces.

Here are the personal spaces for the couple who
run the B&B. If you're in the area, you should
definitely stay in this B&B. Super reasonable rates,
clean, better looking than most inns I've seen and
it includes breakfast!
