Art Nouveau Architecture - Paris Guided Historic Walk
Duration
2 hours
Overview
-
The Art Nouveau movement blossomed during the early 1900’s “Belle Epoque” and spread across art, design, jewelry, furniture and even architecture. In France, Hector Guimard was one of the most leading figures of Art Nouveau. The most beautiful metro entrances in Paris are the creations of this visionary Architect.
We will wander through the “chic” and gorgeous 16th “arrondissement” where Guimard lived and built superb Art Nouveau townhouses and buildings. You will see private townhouses such as Hôtel Guimard, Hôtel Mezzara, Hôtel Jassédé, Hôtel Déron-Levent, the famous Castel Béranger and many other apartment buildings and metro entrances built by Hector Guimard. You will also see Art Déco buildings and learn to differentiate the two styles.
If you have a camera with wide angle and zoom, this is the opportunity to dust it off!
