For many years, the Champ-de-Mars played host to the most important events in French history, and from 1855 onwards, to the world's fairs. In the aftermath of the 1900 World's Fair, the Champ-de-Mars began its transformation into a residential area, centred around a vast public garden, and the architects of the Belle Époque found an exceptional place to express themselves.

This book looks at the architectural symphony of the Champ-de-Mars from 1900 to 1930, with its mix of Beaux-Arts, eclecticism, historicism and Art Deco styles. It examines the finest works of architecture, including the fantastic buildings by Jules Lavirotte, a temple to theosophy (the Adyar room) and the Arums building, where Art Nouveau reached its peak.
