Villa Demoiselle, Art Nouveau residence in central Reims, France.
Villa Demoiselle is an Art Nouveau residence in Reims featuring a framework of concrete and metal with stained glass windows throughout. The windows display floral and geometric patterns that fill the interior spaces with colored light and decorative detail.
Construction of this residence began in 1904 under architect Louis Sorel, commissioned by Henry Vasnier as a private home. The location across from the Pommery estate reflected the owner's position in Reims society at that time.
The rooms inside display furnishings and decoration from artists of the Art Nouveau movement, reflecting how people of that era wanted their homes to look and feel. Walking through the spaces, you notice art and craftsmanship in nearly every detail.
The best way to see the building is through guided tours offered in several languages. It helps to check tour times in advance so you can plan your arrival accordingly.
The house blends Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles through work by different artists, including a mahogany bar designed by Louis Majorelle and a fireplace created by Paul-Alexandre Dumas. These individual pieces show how multiple craftspeople contributed to one private home.
