LA MAISON DES DAMES DES POSTES, TÉLÉGRAPHES ET TÉLÉPHONES

The very first Parisian house for ladies of posts, telegraphs and telephones

 

Situated in one of Paris' most prestigious districts, The "41 rue de Lille" is a classified site for its Art Nouveau architecture. Originally, the “Demoiselles de la Poste” were housed here in the 111 available heated rooms. Meals were served in a dining room opening onto a winter garden (a conservatory). It is in this decor that Les Climats chose to settles.

Working closely with an architect and a decorator, the owners' dream was to restore the splendor of the place as it was when it was built in 1905. 

La Maison des Dames des Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphone is the only Parisian example of the "Arts and Crafts "movement. It is a mythical spot that simply cried out to be restored.

The ceiling vaults have been re-carved and redecorated. Estours marble pilasters, popular in the 1900s but very rare today, have been renovated and polished. The Art Nouveau stained class windows have been repaired.
