Summer Art Nouveau houses near Barcelona – mediterranean
Description
Itinerary
We present a comprehensive 8 hour tour that will bring you back to what we consider the most hidden gems of Art Nouveau in Catalonia.
During the tour you will discover some Art Nouveau wonders like the Galeries Lafayette, with its wonderful dome, and Alexandre III bridge, which we will cross to appreciate the beauty of its details. On weekdays our Art Nouveau expert will make you discover a hidden gem, an exclusive art nouveau location not included in other tours.
Some of the art nouveau buildings were built for The Exposition Universelle that took place in the capital of France from the 14th April to the 12th November 1900. This world fair took place to celebrate the achievements of the past century and to accelerate development into the next. Art Nouveau was the art style universally present in The Exposition.
Also during the visit, you will go inside two museums and get inspired by the Art Nouveau furniture and jewels displayed there. The Musée des arts decoratifs and the Petit-Palais museum. will be visited during the private tour. In one of these museums we will have a coffee break in its cafeteria, located in a cozy garden.
If you don’t say the contrary (in the options below the calendar) the lunch will be in Le bouillon Racine rue Racine, probably the most attractive Art Nouveau restaurant in the city. With his olden splendour back, and decorated with the characteristic elements of this style, carved wood and ceramics, with mirrors and glass paintings, it offers an immersion in the Paris of the 1900’s.
To move from one place to another you will walk and use The Metropolitain, where you will appreciate some of the Guimard entrances that have popularised Art Nouveau. A city tour for your private group.
