LATROUPE LE BERGER HOTEL
A building with years of history, history that is still visible inside. A clandestine place with its own rules that used to host lovers. Romance and passion were the main characters of this scene, and all its rooms and facilities breathe that essence of mystery and sensuality.
In 1933, Le Berger was created as a solution for a club of friends who couldn’t easily lead their secret double lives. Workers who wanted to find a discreet and comfortable place where they could stay with their lovers.
One of them, Mr. Gabriel Duhoux, was the entrepreneur who designed and build Le Berger. They wanted something a bit luxury for the time in order to be attractive for young ladies. It was designed as a place where they could drink Champagne and eat oysters and enjoy life as much as they could.
Of course, at that time, people's mindsets weren't as flexible as they were after the war or by now. People's sex life were very secret and hidden but they still needed a place to express. Therefore the highest discretion was needed when you entered the place.
The whole circulation was made in a way that it was impossible to meet another customer inside the walls of the hotel. You came in by a door, take the first elevator and access to your room with the tenant. Afterwards, you get down by another elevator and exit by another door.
No, it was not a brothel. Le Berger's direction has always been clear about it: No prostitution was allowed in its walls. It was clearly written at the entrance of the hotel with this sign (below). People came to Le Berger to make love en to enjoy life, not to make money nor to consider women as an object.
It's important to note that Hotel Le Berger has now fully transitioned into a conventional hotel, and no longer operates under the time-limited restrictions of the past.
Latroupe Le Berger is a unique and captivating destination that combines modern comfort with a touch of the past. A modern day haven offers you a chance to step back in time and experience the glamour and elegance of a bygone era.
