Its automated guillotine window system allows the terrace space to open in the summer, creating an enchanting atmosphere where you’ll feel like you’re floating in a mythical place. During the winter months, the heated pergola offers a cozy setting to enjoy the view of a snow-covered city while basking in Emmanuelle‘s comforts.
