If you have an opportunity to go on a tour with Thierry, do it!! He is truly a master storyteller and makes history come alive! Hands down, Thierry is one of the best guides we’ve ever met, and we can’t wait to do another tour with him next time we’re in Paris!
With the art nouveau tour, Thierry was able to walk us through the historical context of what led to the birth of art nouveau, and what followed it with art deco, highlighting early works, and the progression of the movement through time. It was fascinating to learn more about what was going on in the world, and in Paris specifically during those times, and the response both with art and architecture as we strolled through the neighborhoods.
For those that already know a lot about the movement, or know very little, this tour absolutely has something for everybody! It was also great to explore a different part of the city that’s a little off the beaten path!
