Frommer's Review

With a studio in back, Atelier des Tropismes is run by three artists. Patrick Poivre de la Fréta studied in Paris with Salvador Dalí and creates playful, witty still life paintings, genre scenes in feverish Fauvist hues, and objets like screens. Paul Elliott Thuleau faithfully reproduces architectural facades in super-realist fashion with luminous hues. Nathalie Lepine's portraits of women, some sturdy like Léger or de Lempincka, others attenuated like Modigliani or Giacometti, are contemplative. Other local artists are represented here.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
