Is This the Most Romantic Window on the Earth ?
When it comes to the human body and its senses, there is no
one who understands more than the French.
The French are indomitable in satisfying the palette with food
prepared in the best quisine, vine, cheese and innumerable other things
including the French croissant. As for the smell, what smells better than a
French perfume? As for the eyes, from Mona Lisa to the high healed shoes of ValérieTrierweiler visual feast is the essence of French Haut Couture to modern
French architecture, exemplified by the Eiffel Tower. No wonder why Paris has
always attracted the most talented of artists, thinkers and philosophers and is
most sought after Romantic destination in the world.
But it is the human body itself the French has an exquisite
comprehension about, which is at the core of the Joie de vivre the French live
and die with and urge everyone else have in life. The French somehow have a
better notion of what the body is about like the Asians in general have an insight
in to the spiritual nature of life.
Perhaps this inane appreciation of human body is what has
produced the best designers, cooks and hoteliers from among the French. With all that appreciation of the French psyche,
however I was puzzled when I checked in to an ordinary hotel room, a few years back,
in a town in France where I had earlier lived and worked for years. I had never
seen anything like that!
A window on the inner
wall separating the bedroom from the attached bathroom. At first I was really
intrigued. But slowly, as I settled down arranging my wardrobe and setting up
my laptop on the table, the ingenuity of the interior designers and architects
slowly started to dawn on me. Of course,
I could have asked the receptionist about it, but chose not to in order to hide
my lack of culture. I wasn’t sure if the
feature was only for some rooms and I was specially offered one as an added
welcome gesture. Today, I don’t know if
the hotel still has those rooms rented out to guests.
I am sure a lot of people will have different ideas about
the purpose and utility of such a feature. But for someone who is looking
forward to spend an evening with someone with a ‘tete a tete’ with ‘huitre’ and
champagne and roses, the room with this romantic window should offer plenty of
extended pleasures one can imagine.
Years later, when France has elected a new President and
thinks nothing is abnormal or strange about his unmarried companion moving in
to the Elysee palace with him, it is a lot more easier to take in the sublime
imagination of the French designers who had conceived and incorporated this bizarre
feature which appeared to be unique.
Not sure if this is unique at all or there are many other
hotels with such exquisite add on facilities to make your stay more memorable
and perhaps offered as an incentive for you to come back. It will be good to
hear from others.
For anyone who has never come across this wonderful feature
and wants to check out, the hotel was a branch of Mercure Hotels in the town of
Evry, in the southern outskirts of Paris.
