Eiffel tower
29 avenue Rapp (RER Pont de l'Alma). Art Nouveau to the extreme with bulls' heads, turbaned women and unusual colour changes. Designed by Lavirotte, 1901.

Square Rapp, off avenue Rapp (RER Pont de l'Alma). A bizarre ensemble: more Lavirotte at no. 43, a trellis trompe l'oeil and the Société Théosophique de France.

12 rue Sédillot (RER Pont de l'Alma). Art Nouveau and Art Deco elements in superb dormers and wrought-iron grills and balconies, again by Lavirotte, 1899.

Conservatoire de Musique, 7 rue Jean-Nicot (M° Invalides). Christian Portzamparc playing with a half-peeled tube of a tower.
