French Architects
France has a long tradition in architectural achievement, and in this section we look at some of the most important and influential French architects.
There are many instantly recognisable French buildings and monuments that both influenced architecture elsewhere and were in their own way ground-breaking at the time they were constructed. Think of the Louvre and the renaissance chateaux of the Loire Valley, the Eiffel Tower, the remarkable Le Corbusier chapel at Ronchamp, or the 'Louvre Pyramid' for just some of the most famous examples.
The French architects behind these buildings have had (and continue to have) an important influence on architecture around the world.
