If no national jewel is about to be transformed into a hotel in Paris <\/a>- apart from the ultra-confidential establishment in preparation for the Palace of Versailles<\/strong> under the leadership of St\u00e9phane Courbit and Alain Ducasse - it is the boutique style that is driving the hotel industry in the French capital.
