The Lavirotte Building is an Art Nouveau apartment building at 29 Avenue Rapp in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, designed by Jules Lavirotte and built between 1899 and 1901. Its facade is lavishly decorated with sculpture and ceramic tiles made by the ceramics manufacturer Alexandre Bigot, and it is considered one of the best-known surviving Art Nouveau buildings in Paris. In 1901 Lavirotte won the prize for the most original new facade in the 7th arrondissement.
