private
Named in tribute to Théophraste Renaudot (1586–1653), physician to the king and considered France’s first journalist, founder of the Gazette de France in 1631. Since the prize’s creation in 1926, this salon has hosted the Renaudot jury each year. It can also accommodate 3 to 12 guests for private or professional events. Designed by Roberto Ruspoli, the wall bas-reliefs subtly evoke the freedom of the press to which Renaudot was a pioneer.
Le Salon Goncourt
Capacity:
16 guests
This elegant, warmly atmospheric salon has hosted the members of the Académie Goncourt during their monthly deliberations since 1914. A witness to the history of great French literature, its walls frame the famous oval table used by the “Dix Couverts,” which can also accommodate up to 16 guests for private events. While guests do not have the privilege of using the engraved academic tableware, they can enjoy tableware specially created for the salon, featuring an exclusive 1930s motif from the archives of Maison Bernardaud. Refinement, culture, and exclusivity define this almost sacred space.
Le Salon Proust
Capacity:
26 guests
Previously known as Rodin, it has been renamed Proust to mark the centenary of the Goncourt Prize that the author received for *In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower*. Visitors can admire the original edition, numbered 8/128 and dated November 1918, of the work that earned the celebrated socialite writer the Goncourt Prize in 1919. The tribute continues on the walls with an original fresco inspired by the novel, designed by the Italian artist Roberto Ruspoli.
La Bibliothèque
Capacity:
50 guests
The first-floor room, now called the library, has been redesigned to offer an intimate and welcoming experience. It can accommodate up to 50 people. In this light-filled space, featuring a mosaic floor, guests can enjoy the library housing all the works awarded the Prix Goncourt since its inception, in their original editions.
