Art Nouveau Paris 7th Arrondissement Jules Lavirotte Entrance

The whimsical and wild Art Nouveau entrance to Jules Lavirotte’s building on Avenue Rapp near the Eiffel Tower!

How would you like to return home after a day in Paris to this unique entrance? Sure, the style isn’t for everyone, but there’s no doubt about it making a strong impression! This is the whimsical entrance to an apartment building designed by Jules Lavirotte in 1901 at 29 Avenue Rapp in the 7th arrondissement. One of the Art Nouveau masterpieces in Paris, this is Lavirotte at his wildest – a riot of stone carving, intricate ironwork, an abundance of textures and over the top symbolism. You can see more details of this fascinating building in our Art Nouveau Architecture Tour of the 7th arrondissement blog post.

This apartment has some of the best views in the building due to its high location on the 5th floor (6th floor American). There’s also an elevator so you don’t have to climb up all those steps. When you look at the building from the street it’s the balcony just above the row of green columns on the facade. Lavirotte’s wild designs create a charming setting in what must be one of Paris’ most unique balconies! The building’s interior is just as striking as the exterior and includes the typical Art Nouveau ironwork details and charms.
