The Fondation Louis Vuitton, a Frank Gehry building in the Bois de Boulogne

Before you even step inside, the Louis Vuitton building is a destination in itself. Previously known as the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, the institution is sponsored by LVMH and its subsidiaries and run as a legally separate, nonprofit entity, as part of the group’s promotion of art and culture. With groundwork starting in 2006 and construction of the building beginning in March 2008, the museum was inaugurated in October 2014 in the presence of President François Hollande, a week before opening to the public. Gehry drew inspiration from the glass roof of the Grand Palais and from the Palmarium, a glass structure built in 1893 for the neighboring Jardin d’Acclimatation, which your ticket also lets you explore.

The Canadian-American architect, often associated with deconstructivist architecture, had to work within the footprint and two-story volume of a former bowling alley on the site; anything higher had to be glass. The result is a building wrapped in twelve glass sails made of 3,584 panels, enveloping white volumes nicknamed the icebergs. According to Gehry’s office, more than 400 people contributed to a shared digital model built with Digital Project software, used by every team on the building project, while STUDIOS Architecture served as local architect. In April 2011, after a legal challenge, the City of Paris and the Louis Vuitton Foundation received approval to continue the work, and the building will pass to the City of Paris after 55 years. LVMH never officially disclosed the cost of the museum, which a French news magazine later put at several hundred million euros.

Gustave Fayet, the new Icons of Modern Art exhibition

From October 9, 2026 to March 8, 2027, the Fondation devotes all its spaces to Gustave Fayet, Collector-Designer. The project continues the Icons of Modern Art series, previously dedicated to Sergei Shchukin, Mikhail and Ivan Morozov, and Samuel Courtauld, and unfolds in two parts: Fayet the collector and Fayet the designer.

The first brings together, for the first time in a century, more than 250 works from a collection now scattered around the world: paintings by Van Gogh, an important group of works by Gauguin and Redon, plus Degas, Cézanne and Toulouse-Lautrec. Three major Gauguin paintings, including The Yellow Christ, are shown together in France for the first time. The second part, on the top floor, reveals 325 works by Fayet himself, most never shown before and restored for the occasion: watercolors, rugs, ceramics and wallpapers, staged by Robert Carsen, artistic director of the exhibition.

One detail worth keeping in mind as you walk through: in 1908, Fayet bought the Abbey of Fontfroide, near Narbonne, where his friend Odilon Redon would paint two large panels for the library, Day and Night. Fayet never stopped creating, and his passion went far beyond painting. Among the current exhibitions, Gallery 8 also hosts, until January 18, 2027, the first solo show in a French institution by the artist Mohammad Alfaraj, as part of the Open Space program.

Location

Getting to the Fondation Louis Vuitton from Hotel DANTAN

From the hotel’s address, 53 rue du Dôme, public transport is the simplest option, and it starts on foot: Marcel-Sembat station, on metro line 9, is five minutes away. Take line 9 toward Mairie de Montreuil as far as Franklin D. Roosevelt, then line 1 toward La Défense. A single metro ticket covers the whole journey.

Two options then. The most direct: get off at Les Sablons and walk to the entrance through the Jardin d’Acclimatation, in about a quarter of an hour. The other: stop at Charles de Gaulle Etoile, a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe, where a shuttle reserved for ticket holders leaves from exit 2, at 44 avenue de Friedland, roughly every 20 minutes during opening hours.

By taxi or car, the route crosses the Bois de Boulogne, and paid public car parks are close to the hotel. The hotel’s location works in your favor: it makes DANTAN a hotel near Paris on metro line 9, ideal for combining the Fondation with the Trocadéro and its view of the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées or Notre-Dame in a single day.

Get to the hotel

Boulogne-Billancourt, the other side of your cultural stay

Speaking of museums, Boulogne-Billancourt deserves half a day of your stay. The Musée des Années 30 explores the architecture and decorative arts of the interwar years, a natural follow-on from Fayet’s world. The Albert-Kahn museum pairs photography with gardens from around the world, and the Musée Paul-Belmondo presents the sculptor’s work.

Further south, Île Seguin is home to La Seine Musicale, whose concerts and shows bring western Paris to life: if you are pairing an exhibition with a concert, our guide to staying near La Seine Musicale in Boulogne has all the tips. The Escudier market and the Edmond-de-Rothschild park then offer another way to explore the city, a few metro stops from Porte de Saint-Cloud.

A charming hotel that, like Fayet, loves a good collection

Gustave Fayet gathered works to make them live in inhabited places. DANTAN follows a similar approach on its own scale: in the lobby, cement tiles catch the morning light, raw materials echo the vintage photographs on the walls, and each flea-market find tells a piece of local memory.

That memory belongs first to the film studios that made the city a center of French creation for decades. Choosing this hotel in Boulogne-Billancourt means rediscovering that heritage without giving up modern comfort, with a welcome in the spirit of the hoteliers of yesteryear.
