BELLE EPOQUE

Late October 2026

ALIX continues to share the rich culture of France with ALIX members and friends. This October we are planning a tour that will immerse guests in the luxury and exquisite beauty of the Belle Epoque era and Art Nouveau artistic movement that flourished during that period. Our tour will begin and end in Paris where we will visit museums and collections. Outside of Paris highlights will include a VIP visit to the Lalique Museum and factory in eastern France and the Art Nouveau town of Nancy with its famous Villa Marjorelle. Cuisine is always an integral part of any ALIX tour which will include dining in lush Art Nouveau environments as we enjoy great food and wine with great friends which will envelop our time together. Our tour is scheduled to take place over 7 nights and 8 days.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

The tour will start and end in Paris as we will compare and contrast the sources and impetus that influenced the expression of each decorative movement. Examples of both periods are abundant in Paris with iconic buildings many we may have seen but have yet to know about its respective design history. The tour will be a blend of time in Paris focusing mostly on Art Deco then heading to the Art Nouveau center to Nancy and visits to the Lalique Museum. There will also be important exhibitions and museum collections with guided tours by specialists.

We will be immersed in the delicacy and craftsmanship of great glassmakers. Included will be tours of the Musee Lalique and day trips traveling north and south along the “Glass Route '' with visits to Baccarat, the Crystal Museum of St Louis and viewing glass blowers at work. Our tour will celebrate these times with each stop of our luxe journey being introduced with the guidance and insights of specialists.
