A couple of weeks ago, we checked out a place that's been on my radar since it opened in April 2025.
When a 1960s garage closed on rue Legendre years ago, work was started behind the facade by the Groupe Galia. The work was carefully thought out as they could have completely demolished the 10,000 m2 of old parking space. Instead, they worked with the creative, New York team, Roman and Williams Guild to develop something extraordinary called La Fondation 🥂
The space has nine floors with a mix of offices, 65 five-star hotel rooms, a sports club with a climbing wall, a semi-Olympic swimming pool, a spa, an event space, two restaurants and a rooftop terrace.
The rooftop offers a panoramic view of Paris.
There are 1500 m2 of suspended gardens and greenery throughout the massive structure.
The evening I went with Je T'Aime, Me Neither the Restaurant Les Ailes was closed for a private function but we enjoyed a great meal at their ground floor restaurant/bar/café La Base.
We also had a private tour of the rooftop terrace before it opened in May.
Like me, you might have walked by this space with curiosity but no time to check it out. Next time, stop and check it out!
