Your pictures aren't very representative of Art Nouveau in France & Belgium. Here are other examples: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac

  No idea what style the first is, or the relevance of the third image, but the second image looks like Art Deco to me.

    The page it's from explains it's a more geometrical style of nouveau. https://www.bluffton.edu/homepages/facstaff/sullivanm/belgium/brussels/stoclet/0251.jpg https://www.bluffton.edu/homepages/facstaff/sullivanm/belgiu...

  On the contrary, the second link in the grandparent's post is basically how all distinguished buildings in the center of Paris and Madrid were built at the time - a subtler form of modernism, still with strong classic influence, but Art Nouveau nonetheless. The ones you link are more artistic and emblematic, but that kind of building is much less frequent. Have in mind that Art Nouveau is a pretty wide and heterogeneous movement, and not all of it is of the "flowery" nature.

    Paris, even though it may not be what is pictured, is also what I immediately thought of, from the GP's second link.
