Text in French. "A la demande de mécènes éclairés, tels Boni de Castellane qui commande le Palais Rose, des architectes de talent (Samson et son école) élèvent, dans le Paris de la Belle Epoque, des demeures admirables et des palais somptueux qui se dressent dans l'euphorie du classicisme retrouvé." Particularly covers the work of Ernest Sanson and his school with a small section on the Belle Epoque in Newport, Rhode Island in the US. Sanson's Palais Rose (Hôtel de Castellane) was the most spectacular Parisian mansion built during the Belle Époque. A sumptuous book!
