“A street named after a villa?” you might ask. Here in Paris, at the Villa Étex, it’s not as unusual as you might think. Villa Étex isn’t a grand estate. It’s a charming street, a hidden gem tucked away in the 18th arrondissement. And its name? A tribute to a man who left his mark on this city. Now, you may not know Louis-Baptiste Étex, but his sculptures grace some of Paris’s most iconic landmarks. But the Villa Étex? This quiet lane, with its cobblestones and echoes of history, whispers a different story. It speaks of a time when this corner of Paris was a haven for artists. Imagine their studios, bathed in soft northern light, their tools clinking, their brushes painting dreams onto canvas. Villa Étex, a testament to the enduring spirit of art in the heart of Paris.
