Maison Assouline

Everything began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline were at La Colombe d’Or hotel in France, one of their most loved places in the world. As they were experiencing its beauty together, their curiosity for life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the pictures, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, released in 1994. Today, each Assouline book is still created with the same marriage of talent and passion: Martine’s editorial direction and Prosper’s creative vision.
