'From Notre-Dame to Art Deco: A Parisian Architectural Journey' Webinar

Few landmarks capture the heart of a city like Notre-Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece rising anew from the ashes of tragedy. But what stories lie hidden in the streets of Paris, where centuries of architecture stand as a testament to the city's vibrant history? From medieval wonders to Art Deco marvels, prepare for an unforgettable stroll through the City of Light.

Join New York Adventure Club as we celebrate the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral by embarking on a virtual exploration of Parisian architecture, uncovering the city’s most iconic styles from the Middle Ages to the Roaring Twenties.

Led by Edith de Belleville — French licensed tour guide, author, and attorney-at-law — this architectural journey through the heart of Paris will include:

• A close look at Notre-Dame Cathedral, its medieval splendor, and the breathtaking stained glass that has awed visitors for centuries
• Fascinating stories of Louis XIV, Marie-Antoinette, and Napoleon as revealed through Paris’s historic buildings
• The untold story of how the Eiffel Tower nearly didn’t come to be
• A deeper understanding of the differences between Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture
• The origins of Paris stone and how it shaped the city’s timeless elegance
• Insights into how French kings used architecture as a powerful political statement
• How Thomas Jefferson drew inspiration from Parisian design for Monticello in Virginia

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A session with Edith — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
