"In the lively Pigalle neighborhood, down a quiet cobbled street away from the area’s convivial bars and bistros, is Hotel Le Ballu, a 37-room boutique property by the hotelier Julia Vidalenc. After working in Paris’s finest luxury hotels for 15 years, Vidalenc, who grew up on Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar, decided to open her own property as an ode to the design aesthetic of 1960s Eastern Europe."
