Le Ballu is the hotel in the 9th arrondissement that takes you into a world reminiscent of comic strips. If you're feeling a little hungry, there's also a lovely garden where you can enjoy the restaurant's dishes.

If you love the lush, colorful world of comics, and more specifically the ligne claire movement (the drawing style of Hergé et al.), then you're sure to love the design of the new hotel that has just opened its doors in the 9th arrondissement:Hotel Le Ballu .

With its vintage spirit, Hotel Le Ballu takes you to an imaginary land, a nod to Syldavia, the fictional country that first appears in the album Le Sceptre d'Ottokar in the Adventures of Tintin. The inspirations are manifold: comic strips, of course, but also thearchitecture of Eastern Europe in the 1960s. Inside, 37 rooms (5 with terrace) on 5 floors with 1 suite, 3 junior-suites and 1 deluxe.

Le Ballu also boasts a restaurant, headed by chef Michaël Riss, who uses regional and local produce from small producers to create a traditional yet creative cuisine. Pastry chef Pierre Marie offers an inventive dessert menu, accompanied in the afternoon by a selection of world teas. To savour all this, take advantage of the pretty hidden garden with 40 seats .

And if you feel like it, Le Ballu also has a swimming pool and spa in the basement!
