Very fashionable at the beginning of the 19th century, the Directoire-style adopted sober and minimalist shapes, far from the flamboyant baroque of the royal or the Empire regimes. In 2018, it is still just as trendy when it comes to high-end real estate. Its discreet curbs and lines inspired by Greco-Roman and Egyptian civilisations are still very much in demand when it comes to prestigious buildings.
