Radisson Blu Jazz soirée

May 7, 2014

corridor Last month, Radisson Blu Boulogne invited me to one of their fortnightly jazz soirées. Located by metro station Porte de Saint Cloud, Radisson Blu Boulogne has 170 rooms, and if you're a sports fan it's located right next to the Roland Garros tennis courts and the Parc des Princes football stadium.

Before we sat down to dinner, there was a tour of the hotel with Antoine Clement, the meetings and events coordinator. He showed us the private terrace where you can have an after-work drink or dinner, as well as the conference rooms where you can host a business seminar, and the main restaurant which can be privatised for social events.

We also had the opportunity to see two types of rooms: Business Class and Suite. The style of Radisson Blu Boulogne is distinctively business-like, the rooms are comfortable but practical with a strong underlining sense of excellent service. Antoine explained the "one-touch service" policy of Radisson Blu. Pick up the phone and dial the blue button and you'll get through to Radisson Blu staff who will help you with your request. I'll be sure to put Radisson to the test on my future stays with them.

We were then served an apéritif and shown to our dinner-table, where the jazz trio were playing their set. Enjoying a three-course meal whilst being serenaded by classics such as "Fever" and "On the sunny side of the street" was a very pleasant way to spend my Thursday evening. Boulogne is not central Paris, and because of the business-feel to the hotel, I'm not sure how often I would personally venture out to Radisson Blu Boulogne. However, if I were more local to the area, it would make for a pleasant change to the heaving terraces to be found all over Paris. I did however have a lovely evening courtesy of Radisson Blu and have only high praise for their attentive customer service.

"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again". I have been wanting to spend some time with "Rebecca" once more so the wet and windy weather today in Montreuil was just the excuse I needed ☺ I absolutely love this cover design and the fact that Oscar wanted a piece of the action ❤🖤 #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #rebecca #daphnedumaurier #bookstagram #viragopress #shakespeareandcompany
Change of scene for work today. Snapped on my way to the studio 😍#parisjetaime #thisisparis #mytinyatlas
Are you Paris based and looking to join a book club? Starting September 16, the feminist book club (The FBC) will be meeting every month at Shakespeare and Company in Paris! We read books - written by women from all over the world - that highlight matters of interest to feminists; from work to relationships of all kinds, to prejudice, lack of representation and reproductive rights. If you want to be a part of it I've popped the sign up link in my bio ☺#shakespeareandcompany #bookshopsoftheworld #sylviabeach #bookish

"It seemed threatening now, the empty rooms and dusty spaces sinister, when so recently I had thought it beautiful. I couldn't help but believe it was playing tricks on me, trying to send me mad or drive me away." It's the summer of 1969 in the English countryside (Hampshire) and Frances Jellico's life is about to change forever. A socially awkward individual, she is invited  to survey the gardens of a crumbling mansion, recently purchased by an American businessman. It is here where she meets glamorous couple, Cara and Peter, but the cracks in their idyllic romance soon start to appear. A wonderfully atmospheric novel from @writerclairefuller, which you'll particularly enjoy if you're a fan of Rebecca or The Little Stranger.

Throwing it back to beautiful Cascais last week. Because I doubt that you want to see all the unpacked boxes hanging around our new house 😬 (Link in profile for a new post on the past 5 years in Montreuil @lou_in_paris) #portugal #movinghouse #home
