Fontenoy-Ségur, Art Deco architectural ensemble in 7th arrondissement, France
Two buildings at Place de Fontenoy and Avenue de Ségur showcase geometric patterns and decorative elements characteristic of 1930s Art Deco architecture.
The Fontenoy building, completed in 1932 by architect André Ventre, initially housed the Merchant Marine Ministry before becoming a protected historical monument in 2013.
The complex demonstrates the French architectural evolution during the interwar period through its combination of modern materials and classical proportions.
The renovated complex now accommodates government offices, including the Rights Defender and the National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties.
Raymond Subes created metalwork decorations for the Fontenoy building entrance, while Jean Prouvé designed monumental doors for the Ségur structure.
