Buenos Aires Style

The heart of Argentina


Immerse yourself completely in the look and feel of Buenos Aires living with this vivid and wide-ranging selection of photos, from cityscapes and exteriors to interiors and details. In sumptuous, full-page photos, the beautiful polo grounds of the region’s most famous estancia, the Benquerencia, are contrasted with views of a vast selection of homes both traditional and unusual, such as the eclectic apartment of artist Gustavo Godoy, decorated floor to ceiling with colorful antiques and religious paraphernalia. Also pictured are mainstays of Argentinean life and culture such as churascos (barbecue stands) and the much loved tango.

"Leçon de style. Une plongée dans l’atmosphère, l’architecture et le décor de Buenos Aires: c’est le voyage auquel convie le livre Buenos Aires Style. Grâce à une large sélection de photos, de paysages urbains et d’intérieurs, on déambule dans la ville au rythme des churascos – grands stands de barbecue – et bien sûr du tango.
