Castel Béranger, located at 14 rue de la Fontaine in Paris's 16th arrondissement, stands as the first residence in the capital built in the Art Nouveau style. Designed by architect Hector Guimard and constructed between 1895 and 1898, this residential building contains thirty-six apartments and exemplifies the revolutionary aesthetic that would define the era. Now classified as a historical monument, Castel Béranger remains a landmark of early modernist domestic architecture in France.
