The École Boulle is a prominent college of fine arts, crafts, and applied arts, identifiable by the bustling activity of students navigating its entrance on rue Pierre-Bourdan. Founded in eighteen eighty-six, the institution began as a municipal school intended to train professional furniture makers in the heart of Paris’s historic furniture-making district near the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. It takes its name from André-Charles Boulle, the renowned seventeenth-century cabinetmaker whose signature style of intricate marquetry remains a benchmark for the craft.
