The Douanier Rousseau
The Douanier Rousseau
Two of our small apartments – La Païva and Liane de Pougy – are decorated especially in homage to these legendary women.
The La Païva apartment exudes and embodies an inimitable sensual frenzy. It enthrals the sense of touch, fascinates the eyes, captivates the body. The opulent fabrics are reminiscent of the social revenge achieved by this poor Russian weaver’s daughter, who became a marquise and the most sought-after woman in Paris. It comprises two communicating Junior Suites of contrasting décor, so that each of the two bedrooms has its own corresponding salon.
Liane de Pougy, who was, in turns, a Folies Bergères star, princess and nun, was the inspiration for this Jeanne Lanvin-style world. The apartment bearing her name unites two communicating Junior Suites, such that each of the two bedrooms has its own corresponding salon. Its unusually high ceilings create a superb space for showcasing one of the finest collections of works and furniture at the Maison Souquet.
