Hôtel - Musée de la Villa Bagatelle

The "Chambre des Muses" is very luminous, with its faux-gold and light anise hues. The walls are decorated with original paintings by Jocco, an artist who revives the spirit of floral fantasy (Art Nouveau). Solid oak parquet flooring, marble and brass fireplace and silk curtains. A 150 x 200 cm bed: a new standard at the end of the 19th century, reinventing the matrimonial bed rather than the so-called "3-leg" beds (between 110 and 120 cm wide). Furnished with authentic pieces from the best workshops of early 20th-century French designers, some remarkable pieces from the "Collection Chauvin", linen made in France. Office area, high-speed wifi network, 27-inch 4K computer screen with USB-C (Android), Lightning (IOS) and HDMI (on request) connectivity, Armchairs, kettle, carafe of still water, adjustable heating. Italian-style shower on wooden duckboard, hairdryer, towel dryer. Toilet in painted porcelain 1900, French window with shutters and balcony.

The "Orientale" room is heady with red, beige and gold. The jacquart walls play with the silk brocades of the curtains; the woodwork is painted with linseed oil. Solid oak parquet, waxed with beeswax, red and grey marble fireplace, brass trim, blurred glass windows, views of the plane-tree terrace to the south and the lime-tree quincunx and green carpet to the west. This was the bedroom of Pierre Juppet, the house's builder. It features an exceptional "Bonk el koba", an Algerian dome bed. This gilded iron cage, typical of Algiers houses, is extremely rare in France. Two examples are on display in Algerian Museums, only one in France (at Marseille's Mucem). This "fairy bed" is accessed via a footboard (new, top-of-the-range bedding made in France). Art-Deco-inspired bathroom with bathtub. Separate toilet.

The "Chambre de Madame" features an entrance hall with mirror, and a 1.80 x 2.10 double bed. Decorated in beige and blue, in a Louis XV style revisited by 1900 decorators, it is sophisticated, with imposing ceiling moldings nearly 4 meters high. Waxed oak parquet flooring. Mantel in polished brass and white marble, woodwork with flower garlands. The walls are covered with a contemporary scrollwork fabric. The bathroom/wc is in the boudoir spirit: wood panelling, fireplace, glass tile decoration, two 18th-century and Art-Nouveau mirrors, 1 French window, dressing room hung with gilded fabric (French window). Madame's bedroom is accompanied by a large terrace - 30 m2 - to the east. In a nod to the industrial fervor of the early 20th century, the production facilities of France's second-largest metropolis are visible in the distance through the curtain of trees. To the south is a large balcony overlooking the park and plane trees.
