The Art Nouveau movement appeared during the "Belle Epoque". It manifested itself through art, design, jewelry, furniture and even architecture. The beautiful metro entrances in Paris are in the style of Art Nouveau and they are the creations of Hector Guimard, a visionary architect who spearheaded this movement before anybody else. He was on a mission to bring art into people's lives. A selection of his creations will help you understand the evolution of his unique approach to architecture: from his early experimental years, to his refined and elegant "modern style", then to the last phase of his career. We will also see a few examples of Art Déco buildings so you will be able to identify and differentiate both styles.
ITINERARY This tour takes place in the very chic 16th arrondissement of Paris where architect Hector Guimard lived and built superb Art Nouveau architecture. We will see: - The famous Castel Béranger which is considered his groundbreaking masterpiece ; - Houses built at different times and showing the evolution of his work ; - Hôtel Guimard - his own townhouse ; - Several apartment buidlings designed for people of all social classes! While we cannot enter these homes, I will use my tablet to show photos of the interiors with their original furniture in the style of Art Nouveau. We will end the tour at 2, rue Jean de la Fontaine, which is a few minutes walk from a métro station. During the tour, there will be an opportunity for a get drinks/pastries to go and a restroom break. * This itinerary can be customized.
