Studio 2 – "Monplaisir"

Monplaisir has a floor area of 25 m². The large double bed is situated at the far end of the room as you enter, with a low wall separating it from the area where your desk is. The large flat-screen TV is mounted to the low wall, and behind it is the desk, where there is a LAN access point. There is a body-length mirror on the wall by the bed, and shelving with scented plants above. By the TV is a comfortable faux-leather armchair. The room also has a spacious built in wardrobe, with space to hang all of your clothes, and shelving above for other belongings.

From this room you have direct access to the Japanese garden, but be aware that this door cannot be locked / unlocked from outside, so may not be used as main entrance to the room. However, it is ideal for an early morning coffee, or a cigarette break. The room is decorated in a calm white, with splashes of bright colour around the shelving, and the bed. On the walls are framed photos of movie stars, in homage to the Lumière brothers, pioneers of cinema technology.

As well, you will have your own private bathroom, which is spacious, and includes storage for all of your products and towels. There is a washbasin, with a shelf and mirror above it, plus the toilet, and a roomy shower. There is also a heated towel rail, for those chilly winter mornings.
