What you’ll do

The Village d'Auteuil in the 16h arrondissement features some of architect Hector Guimard's most iconic work: his personal residence, the city's first Art Nouveau building, and several Metro entrances. On this 2-hour walking tour through the neighborhood, I'll trace the evolution of Guimard's style and his legacy of curling wrought iron and ornament. You'll visit legendary homes, hotels, and kiosks while learning about the Beaux Arts movement's rise and fall.
