ENCHANTING JOSEPHINE The JoBo Hotel, which opened in June 2016 in the Marais district, is a chic and eccentric tribute to Empress Josephine Bonaparte, Napoleon's first wife. Who better to incarnate French elegance with frivolity? Built on the remnants of a 17th-century convent and decorated by star designer Bambi Sloan, the JoBo reveals itself to be the genuine modern alter ego of the flamboyant and seductive ruler. The luxurious rooms and suites, carrying evocative names like Sans Culotte and Minx, enticingly invite you to glamorous romantic getaways, while the hushed vibe of the cosy lounge bar will delight the souls of Parisiens and Parisiennes.
