Walk

Altitude Cent: at the summit of Art Nouveau and Art Deco

© ARAU

Forest Park is surrounded by an extremely rich and diverse architectural heritage. Several beautiful Art Nouveau facades alone are worth the detour. That of the "Beau-Site" villa, the starting point of the tour, with its curves and colours, is a masterful illustration of the path taken by a number of architects at the end of the 19th century. The Altitude Cent district, with its church and imposing Art Deco tower, offers a magnificent catalogue of houses and apartment blocks built between the wars, where Art Deco is omnipresent, modernism underlying and the picturesque never far away.

In collaboration with ARAU, Atelier de Recherche et d'Action Urbaines.
