Nest Hotel in the Paris Suburbs Interior designer Oscar Lucien Ono was invited to craft this space, where artistic sparks and Memphis-inspired contemporary design converge... The final result is nothing short of stunning. The Designer | About the Designer Interior designer Oscar Lucien Ono takes a moment to relax in the lounge. Dressed in a striped shirt—a playful choice that echoes the oversized patterns in the room—he embodies the harmony of his vision. Oscar Lucien Ono, a French designer and founder of Maison Numero 20, discovered his passion for interiors and decor in childhood. This passion culminated in 2003 when he designed the layout for a 5,400-square-meter gallery in Barcelona for collector Bertrand Cheuvreux, leading him to establish his own studio. Today, he boasts nearly two decades of design excellence. From the electrifying Latin Paradise dance hall in central Paris to luxury residences and rug designs on Avenue Montaigne, his work reflects an eclectic blend of styles, drawing inspiration from figures like Jean-Michel Franck and Armand-Albert Rateau. Inspired by the 20th-century French architect and designer Pierre Chareau, Ono similarly fuses emerging design elements, infusing 21st-century eclectic aesthetics into hotels, restaurants, residential projects, and even furniture designs across Paris's Left Bank. He masterfully reinterprets geometric aesthetics, Art Deco, and Memphis-style influences. Though most of Pierre Chareau’s creations were demolished during his lifetime, the surviving Maison de Verre stands as a testament to his genius—a designer who skillfully synthesized the ever-evolving styles of his era.

#westerneurope Definitely worth a short visit to see the newer and more modern "downtown" area of Paris. The defense plaza has a lot of great shops, mall, restaurants and other things to do while you hang out downtown. I decided not to go up in the observation deck but just enjoying a relaxing morning loitering around the area and sightseeing the building architecture and designs. Thankful that it's a clear sunshiny day because it lends to better pictures with the right angle. Recommended to plan for 1 to 2 hours walking around the downtown area.

Close to the metro, really nice area with an amazing view.

How to find the Flix Bus stop at the Paris La Defense terminal! After getting off the subway, follow the bus terminal signs. You will come across a street with many tall buildings. If you walk down the hill and turn left, you will see a bus stop with buses gathered there! The bus number is also displayed on the electronic board, so please refer to it ~ #June Travel Support Fund

La Defense is the largest business district in Europe, located in the west of Paris, where modern high-rise buildings and artistic sculptures are in harmony. It is only one stop from the Arc de Triomphe, but the atmosphere is completely different from Paris. Grande Arche is famous for its huge building that reinterprets the traditional Arc de Triomphe in a modern way. Various modern art pieces are displayed throughout the streets, so it felt like walking through an outdoor art gallery. There is also a large shopping mall, so it is great for shopping and relaxation. The sunset reflecting on the building windows is beautiful at sunset. If you want to experience the unique charm of modern Paris, be sure to visit La Defense! 📍La defense #European travel

Grande Arche 👀 This building is called the New Arc de Triomphe in Japan. It was built to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution!

My view from my apartment here in Paris

#FallHostingEvent La Defense in Paris, France. It is a forest of buildings that feels completely different from downtown Paris, like a new city. La Defense is said to be in Courbevoie in terms of administrative districts. High-tech business, commercial, retail, and residential facilities are built above ground, and highways, subways, and general roads are placed underground, so there is almost no congestion in the city center.

#AutumnHo-kang-soo-event La Defense, a new city that doesn't feel like Paris. The accommodation facilities are newer and better than Paris, and the prices are cheaper, so people prefer to stay in La Defense. It is a station with the Rer line and Paris Line 1 subway, so it is a good location for subway travel to places like the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre.

#FallHostelEvent La Defense, like a new city in Paris. A modern place that has no Parisian or European feel at all. It is a sub-center of Paris, located 8km from the city center on the banks of the Seine River, with the Louvre Museum and the Arc de Triomphe in the center of the capital city of Paris as the central axis.

The room was spacious and nice. We accidentally booked a twin bed room and told the front desk about it - they kindly linked our beds by the next day which was nice. We had breakfast at around 9am at both days we were staying there and they didn't restock the food (no eggs, 2 sad looking sausages, no yoghurt) which was definitely a minus.
