Marquees and Canopies
These iron and glass canopies first appeared during the late 19th century Art Nouveau period. Many of these might be original but it is a popular design feature that can be found all over the city. We found many over the doors of hotels and entrances to apartment buildings and restaurants. Finding them was like a treasure hunt.
Both of these photos are of the Musee d'Orsay which used to be a train station.
This is the small hotel where we stayed in Tours. Hotel du Manoir
The prestigious Tour d'Argent restaurant.
