Lavirotte
One of our unintended great finds while visiting Paris was the at 29
Avenue Rapp in the 7th arrondissement, very close to the Eiffel Tower.
Built in 1901, this Art Nouveau masterpiece by Jules Lavirotte is
quite striking. The detailed door was designed by sculptor
Jean-Baptiste Larrive and sculpted by a variety of others. If you
happen to be in Paris, seek this beauty out!
What…You Want a Picture?
We waited for what seemed like ever for a man on the sidewalk outside
to move. He just kept talking on his mobile and didn’t see at all
impressed that I wanted to take a photograph of this door. I guess he
was used to tourists snapping photos and moving on. I wanted something
for my website that didn’t include his funny mustache!
