Louis Majorelle inherited the family furniture manufacturing business as well as his father's skill in design and, still in his twenties, became one of the leaders of the School of Nancy. In 1905 he commissioned young Parisian architect Henri Sauvage to design Villa Majorelle, one of Nancy's first Art Nouveau homes. The house is now owned by the Museum of the School of Nancy, renovated back mostly to its original state, and partially furnished with Majorelle meubles. As with the Museum, the AV tour can be downloaded from Google Play or the Apple site.

| Excellent interpretive stuff, throughout; and in English too; even better on the downloadable tour |
