Eugène Train

Eugène Train (1832–1903) was a French architect who taught for many years at the École des Arts Décoratifs.

He was admitted to the École des Arts Décoratifs in 1850, and studied under Adolphe-Marie-François Jaÿ.

He constantly complained about the lack of education of his pupils, who were required only to be able to read and write.

[5] Train also asked in 1874 whether the school could teach students the basic principles of fabrication and coloration so they could design carpets, wall hangings and stained-glass windows.

[1] The original premises of the school were irregular in plan and too cramped for the student body.
