La Maison Rouge Gallery Opens “Black Dolls: The Deborah Neff Collection” | Vogue
"The "Black Dolls: The Deborah Neff Collection" exhibition at La Maison Rouge showcases an extraordinary assemblage of dolls collected by Deborah Neff. The collection includes around 200 dolls dating from 1840 to 1940, primarily made by African-American women. These dolls range from simple designs made of a sock and rag to complex figures demonstrating dazzling needlework skills. The exhibition highlights the dolls' quiet dignity and their role as toys meant to be loved and played with. The dolls are crafted from materials like cloth, leather, wood, and found materials, with some displayed in shadow boxes or as topsy-turvy dolls, symbolizing racial unity and separation." - Lynn Yaeger
Great location, nice room, but a bit hot at night in the summer, since there is no air conditioning in the room. I think the breakfast could be better, it was too basic for the price we paid. I would give it 5 stars, but it was too expensive. We paid about $650 US for 3 nights in July 2022

Lovely place. Francoise and her family were very welcoming. The room is a nice size, the bath and WC are not attached to the room, but it wasn't inconvenient at all. We had most of the space to ourselves. Added advantage of having a tiny little kitchenette with kettle and refrigerator for those cold nights when you would want hot milk. Location was also very convenient, short walk from multiple stations and bus stops, 20-30 minutes to most tourist attractions.

We had a wonderful stay at La Maison Rouge. The accommodations were in a modern style with very cute details, like dried flower bannisters, a bedroom balcony overlooking a vertical garden in the backyard, and colorful, sunlit shower. The bedroom was also well-furnished and the bed was very comfortable. It's a very short walk to great restaurants and in a comfortable neighborhood. The hosts were very warm and friendly and we would definitely stay there again!
