Great step back into Belle Époque - 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.

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.

In Mollard's, a traditional Parisian brasserie, we enjoyed coffee and conversation. 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. We finished our tour by visiting a bank. What a building!

Places you wouldn’t have known about otherwise - 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.
