Stunning! Emanuel's private bathroom is probably the most beautiful bathroom I've ever seen. (Try to block out the ghastly recording of Debussy).

And what it looked like before restoration:

Rather a mess

Including lots of graffiti left over from German occupation.

Why don't I live there?
1. Because I am a farmboy from a part of Missouri that is very much like Arkansas.
2. This list could go on and on.

I’m surprised that they decided to take on the project and found the money for it. Glad they did!

I’m also surprised that they could do such fine restoration work. Art Nouveau is nor an easy style to work with.

A true marvel, and a marvel that it has survived.

I noted that they said there were carpets on the walls of the piano room. I suspect these were hung there for acoustics, not so much for decor.

Yes, the restoration was run and funded by a consortium of municipalities centered around Agde.

Mankind is fortunate to have people willing to put in the effort and money to preserve the best of our history.
