Lovely photo, but I’m afraid you’ve posted the wrong address. Check the photo, it’s 29 Avenue Rapp, not 129. Thanks, Dave

If you look at the design upside down it is remarkably like a penis. This was an intentional addition by Lavirotte, which makes it funny when people manage to see past the design and go all doe eyed

[...] recently showed you an Art Nouveau door which was Avenue Rapp. The other day I saw another building by Jules Lavirotte, the same architect. [...]

There are a few buildings like this in that neighborhood and they’re really cool!

Do you really have Art Nouveau in subway stations, in Paris? Nothing “artful” in ours, although they try sometimes…

I saw the details of this building on your French blog. I’m still dreaming of renting la lucarne…

Bon Voyage. Can’t wait to see your London photos.

Paris really did have some of the most gorgegous art deco public works… I’m thinking of the metro stations.
Exercise? I’ve found that listening to audio books on iPods makes it go very quickly. But good for you to find a group way to do this!!! Have a good time in London.

LOVE this building! I am a real fan of art nouveau — have always wanted to go to see the Antonio Gaudi buildings in Barcelona which are even more fantastic. I will have to look these up when I am in Paris — thank you!

Why can’t I see it? It won’t load here or at the other location.

Thanks, everyone! When I get back from London, I’ll go hunting for more buildings by this Lavirotte! The other ones are supposed to be quite amazing too.

@ mrs k, I like it in London this time of year. Last year was exceptional. I spent my last day, walking along the streets wearing a t’shirt!
I’m afraid it won’t be like this, this year. But, more museums to discover for me!
