Room decor at Thoumieux featured a variety of patterns and fabrics

The lobby of the hotel doubled as the restaurant lounge

We liked Thoumieux, a 15-room boutique hotel in Paris, France, for its elegant yet comfort oriented features and electronic amenities, its location in the seventh arrondisement and its gourmet restaurant.

Fresh white truffles were in season and featured on the menu

Jean-Francois Piege presentation featured unique china for many courses

Restaurant Jean-Francois Piege, the hotel’s gourmet venue named for the eponymous chef owner, on the lobby level, offered fine dining in a cozy setting. Serving beautifully presented and unique dishes prepared in a modern French cuisine style the restaurant, like the hotel, was small with seating for only 18 guests. It was sold out the day we had lunch.
