Guimard's own home, built in 1909-12. It is less decorated than Castel Béranger, but still beautifully shaped. Privately owned and not open to the public.
House designed by Guimard in 1910-1 for Paul Mezzara, the owner and designer of a lace and embroidery manufacturer. As of October 2025, under renovation to become a museum dedicated to Guimard, expected to open in 2027-8.
Castel Béranger is an apartment building that was the first entirely art nouveau building in Paris, insulted at the time as "Castel Derangé". Its richly decorated facade won a city competition in 1898. It contains 36 apartments, all of which are still privately owned and not open to the public.
This charming museum is owned by the French Académie des Beaux-Arts. Its main collection areas, the result of several large donations, include: First Empire art and furnishings; illuminated manuscripts; and Impressionist art, including the largest Monet collection in the world and works by Renoir, Manet, Morisot, Caillebotte and Gauguin.
Piscines Auteuil-Molitor
A stunning classical swimming pool complex. The pool is known for its Art Deco designs and the popular introduction of the bikini by Louis Réard on 5 July 1946. The character Pi Patel in the novel/movie Life of Pi was named after this pool. Nowadays it houses a 5-star hotel as well. Access for non-hotel guests is very pricey — you must book a spa package for €230.
