16th Arrondissement Architecture

I love exploring neighborhoods dominated by Art Nouveau architecture. Last week I took the metro to the Ranleagh stop in the 16^th arrondissement and ambling the nearly deserted streets, it seemed as though the residents were already starting to take their vacances, which starts at the end of July and extends to the end of August. The main artery is Ave. Mozart, and the side streets I walked through were rue de Ranelagh, rue de l’Assomption, Ave. Leopold II, rue de la Fontaine, and ending at the Jasmin metro station. Architecture wise, it’s a rich and eclectic mix of Art Nouveau apartment buildings, modern high-rises, individual houses with front gardens, and some arts and crafts style homes. I marveled at the turret topped buildings, the incredible sculpted facades with flowers, nymphs and cherubs, oval framed windows, and glass and wrought iron canapes.

Come experience Eye Prefer Paris live with Eye Prefer Paris Tours, which are walking tours I personally lead. Eye Prefer Paris Tours include many of the places I have written about such as small museums & galleries, restaurants, cafes, food markets, secret addresses, fashion & home boutiques, parks and gardens and much more. In addition to my specialty Marais Tour, I also lead tours of Montmartre, St. Germain, Latin Quarter, in addition to Shopping Tours, Food Tours, Flea Market Tours, Paris Highlights Tours,Vintage Clothing Tours, and Chocolate & Pastry tours.
