Life
Paul-Ernest Sanson entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris at the age of 18 and took courses with the architect Émile Jacques Gilbert . In 1861 he married Marie-Caroline Scelles. They had two sons, Maurice Pierre (1864-1913) and Louis Charles (1866-1917).
After graduating with a degree in architecture, Sanson worked with Denis-Louis Destors and Charles-Auguste Questel and then joined Antoine-Nicolas Louis Bailly's office . In 1865 he took over the architecture office, which under his direction quickly gained a great reputation among its potential aristocratic and wealthy bourgeois clientele. Sanson employed his son Maurice and the architects Victor-Guillaume Bariller and René Sergent during this time .
Sanson's designs for elegant living that use modern comfort are anchored in the long tradition of French architecture, with a preference for the 17th and 18th centuries. Buildings like the Palacio Ferreyra , which Sanson built in 1916 in Córdoba , Argentina , make the influence of the French Baroque in Sanson's style unmistakable.
Paul-Ernst Sanson has received several awards for his work; In 1911 he was awarded the Legion of Honor .
The plans and documents of the architects of the Sanson family are kept in the Archives nationales in Fontainebleau under file number 143AP.
