In France, theArt Deco craze didn't last long: it began in the 1910s, reached its peak in 1925, and gradually died out in the 1930s. And yet, even today, this artistic movement is highly appreciated. Traces of it can still be found in Paris: buildings, decorative elements, glass roofs, frescoes... These treasures of the past can be hidden or in plain sight.
Some of the capital's Art Deco buildings are well known: the Samaritaine, the Molitor swimming pool, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs... Others are more discreet, and some may even surprise you.
If you're a fan of this architectural and artistic style, take advantage of the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) to tour the relics of Art Deco in Paris. Over the weekend of September 20 and 21, 2025, many cultural sites are organizing themed tours, revealing all the secrets of their history and architecture. It's time to learn all you can about Paris and the surrounding area!
