And the electrifying offerings do not stop there. Le Meurice has also teamed up with L’Equipe magazine to present a sports-orientated exhibition. Located at the heart of the hotel, guests will discover ten remarkable photos centred around the beauty of motion and the power of athleticism. From Michael Phelps to Hugo Marchand, the exhibition offers intimate insight into the lifestyle of champions.
Staying in an artistic vein, Le Meurice has invited Luxembourgish artist Raphaël Gindt to create pieces around urban spots, which can be viewed in the hotel’s lobby and the Galerie Pompadour. The exhibition will be open from July 22nd to September 15th.
Looking to similar external scenes for inspiration, Chef Clémentine Bouchon has crafted a delicious menu of street food classics for the sporting summer. Le Meurice will offer tasty take-out options for those hoping to catch a sports event or for those just enjoying the City of Light. The menu is available from July 22nd at 228 rue de Rivoli.

Additionally, Le Meurice encourages its guests to enjoy the city in a unique way. The hotel will offer Solex electric bikes to guests until September 8th at €40 for two hours or €120 for a day.
Finally, textile designer and embroidery artist Yanis Miltgen will showcase two antique Medici vases named “Olympea” at Hotel Le Meurice. Handcrafted using traditional artisanal techniques, the vases reference the hotel’s timeless codes and the four urban sports events taking place at the iconic Place de la Concorde: 3×3 basketball, breakdancing, skateboarding, and BMX.
