Our history
You will find the Relais Christine in a 17th
century town house built on the vestiges of the
Saint-Denis College of the Grands-Augustins
Abbey, founded in 1231 by Saint Louis.
The rue Christine was completed in 1607 further
to the construction of the Pont Neuf bridge and
named after Christine de France, daughter of
Henri the 4
thand Marie de Médicis.
The street front building was rebuilt in 1898 by
the architect Debrie. This type of town house is
a great standard of 17th and 18th century
Parisian architecture, the best-known examples
being the French President’s home, the Palais
de l’Elysée, and the Prime Minister’s Hôtel
Matignon.
Owned by a French family since 1979, the
Relais Christine is an oasis of calm in the centre
of Paris. Steeped in history, it contains a paved
courtyard reached by a covered passageway
and, behind the house, a 150 m2 garden with
two rooms and two suites offering a private
terrace. Vestiges of the College des Charités
Saint-Denis of the Black Friars Abbey can be
seen on the lower floor, now dedicated to wellbeing with our Guerlain spa. The relaxation
lounge features a magni ficent circular column
at the apex of its vaulted stone ceiling. The
original fireplace and well can also be admired.
A few steps away from the Louvre museum and
Notre Dame de Paris, the hotel is located in the
heart of Saint Germain des Prés, a lively area,
famous for its intellectual and artistic societies,
as well as for its luxury and fashion shops.
