Immeuble Lavirotte

At 29 Avenue Rapp, this 1901 building by Jules Lavirotte is the most exuberant manifesto of Parisian Art Nouveau. It won the prize for the finest façade in Paris in 1903.

Flamed stoneware, ceramics by Alexandre Bigot, animals, plants and female figures cover the front, up to a carved door whose erotic symbolism caused a scandal.

Tip: a private building, visible only from the street. Allow 10 minutes, combined with nearby Square Rapp and its Eiffel Tower view.
