Stepping into the gardens, you enter an oasis of calm and tranquility. As a signatory of the Relais & Châteaux manifesto and the charter on the preservation of biodiversity and natural resources, the Saint James Paris has taken a strong and lasting commitment, placing nature at the center of the experience offered to its guests.
With its 3 stickers Ecotable (the highest available certification), our restaurant Bellefeuille reinforces its commitment to local producers and short circuits. Chef Julien Dumas' cuisine is inspired by nature and offers tasty compositions created exclusively with seasonal products. This distinction rewards an exceptional know-how and confirms our long-term commitment to environmentally friendly cuisine.
Behind the monumental entrance gate, a wide old-fashioned gravel path leads to the courtyard and circles the sculptural fountain. Everywhere you look, a charming blend of sophistication and bohemian fancy create a poetic ambiance, a privileged moment where time stands still. Paris is magnificent in every season. So are the Saint James gardens, thanks to the savoir-faire of Xavier de Chirac who has fashioned a promenade offering myriad colour and scents year-round.
Working on the premise that noble products are the result of the talent and dedication of their producers, the Chef is on a continual quest for the finest sources. Highly committed to an eco-responsible cuisine, he has cultivated special, long-term relationships with carefully selected artisans whose authentic methods respect the environment. Market gardeners, fish farmers and fishmongers, all possess exceptional savoir-faire and share his high standards of excellence. Not to mention the Chef’s exclusive access to Saint James garden’s fresh-grown organic fruits and vegetables, in the gardens of the owners’ domain, just south of Paris.
The beehives installed with the vegetable garden provide the Pastry Chef with a delicious Paris made honey for her creations.
Complimentary bicycles are available for our guests wishing to go for a ride in the capital! For the others, an electric DS 3 E-Tense car or an electric SMART car can be rented for a small fee. Whatever you choose, Saint James Paris offers you to move green! The hotel also offers guests coming with an electric car to charge it free of charge.
