Views of the interior structure of some of the domes, views of the city from building observation points, striking interior of the brasserie Mollard. Wonderful “hidden” places that would have been further enhanced by a little more context overall of Art Nouveau and the Art Nouveau movement in Paris.
Thank you for taking this tour. Sorry that you feel you didn't get enough information about art nouveau in general but this 2 hour tour is too short to cover everything. We need to focus on what is around us :-)
Solene is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and a great person to get to know. We plan to join another of her tours on our next trip to Paris. The Holts from Wayne, PA
Thank you so much !
Solène was absolutely amazing. Her itinerary was perfect. We saw a lot in a short period of time with stops very near each other. She was very informative with flawless English. She felt more like a friend than a tour guide. We especially liked the brasserie stop.
Thank you ! I was very happy to have you on this tour after such a long break due to Covid :-( Art Nouveau is always a good idea :-)
<p>Our guide was fabulous! She has a great knowledge and appreciation for the wonderful architecture around Paris. She showed us gorgeous pieces of art and architecture that were visible to thousands every day as they pass thru the train stations, eat in the cafes and shop in the stores--yet never really see them. She helped us to see and truly appreciate the beauty.</p>
<p>The tour was amazing. Able to visit some secret and stunningly beautiful places of this famous city. The guide knows the city very well and tells rich historical backgrounds that we visited. Especially like the gorgeous ancient bank that is still in use.</p>
<p>Excellent guide with good knowledge of the area and the tour stops. She was friendly and very knowledgeable.</p>
<p>We absolutely loved this tour and the guide it was above our expectations , in 2 hrs we got a great feel of Paris and some of the beautiful buildings wonderful department stores !! <br/> We would recommend this as a must do if visiting but do it on arrival so you get a feel for this part of Paris should be on the must do list</p>
<p>Solene, my guide and I began our tour by going into the Gare Saint Lazare where she explained its special features.<br/> In Mollard's, a traditional Parisian brasserie, we enjoyed coffee and conversation.<br/> On Boulevard Haussmann we saw two examples of designer shopping combined with art nouveau architectural styles. Printemps and Galeries Lafayette have rooftop viewing areas and glass domes.<br/> We finished our tour by visiting a bank. What a building!</p>
<p>Tour guide Solean was awesome!! Got to see lots of hidden gems we would have NEVER happened upon without the tour! Just wonderful!</p>
<p>This was a great tour. Our Guide was super knowledgeable and very friendly. We would have never found these amazing treasures on our own. And the Hot Chocolate was delicious!!</p>
