Although Art Deco flourished throughout France during the 1920s and 1930s – especially in major cities such as Bordeaux and Lyon, or chic resorts like Deauville and Biarritz – the epicentre of the movement was Paris, where the majority of artist-craftsmen and ensembliers established their workshops and showrooms.
