==Paquebot style==
<!---Paquebot style redirects here.--->
In France, the style was called ''Paquebot'', meaning [[ocean liner]]. The French version was inspired by the launch of the ocean liner ''[[SS Normandie|Normandie]]'' in 1935, which featured an Art Deco dining room with columns of [[Lalique]] crystal. Buildings using variants of the style appeared in Belgium and in Paris, notably in a building at 3 boulevard Victor in the [[15th arrondissement]], by the architect [[Pierre Patout]]. He was one of the founders of the Art Deco style. He designed the entrance to the Pavilion of a Collector at the 1925 Exposition of Decorative Arts, the birthplace of the style. He was also the designer of the interiors of three ocean liners, the ''[[SS Île de France|Ile-de-France]]'' (1926), the ''[[SS L'Atlantique|L'Atlantique]]'' (1930), and the ''[[SS Normandie|Normandie]]'' (1935).<ref>Oudin, Bernard. ''Dictionnaire des Architectes'', Sechiers, Paris, (1994), (in French), page 372.</ref> Patout's building on Avenue Victor lacked the curving lines of the American version of the style, but it had a narrow "bow" at one end, where the site was narrow, long balconies like the decks of a ship, and a row of projections like smokestacks on the roof. Another 1935 Paris apartment building at 1 Avenue Paul Doumer in the [[16th arrondissement]] had a series of terraces modelled after the decks of an ocean liner.<ref>{{citation | first = Simon | last = Texier |  title = Paris Panorama of Architecture | publisher = Parigramme | date = 2012 | page = 142 | isbn = 9782840966678 }}</ref>
