Le Cercle - FERMÉ sur Poissy

Villa typical of the works of Corbusier, which is striking for its modernism

From the outside I was not impressed but upon entering the opposite was true. To think that it is a 100 year old house. Look at the house at the waterfall

On an educational trip to Paris accompanied by my Art History colleague, I was lucky enough to visit Villa Savoye designed by Le Corbusier. What to say? Splendid in its modernity and rationalization of spaces, despite dating back almost a century ago. Little chatter: go and visit it!

Succinct audio guide - no crowds. Experiencing the building in real life gives an entirely different impression than studying from a text.

Le Corbusier's masterpiece, even though it is worn out in places, its effect and feeling are very good.

We visited the Savoye residence, which was built 90 years ago (1932) by Le Corbusier, a master of modernist architecture. This mansion located in Poissy, an hour and a half from Paris, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.It has survived many wars and was about to be destroyed, but it has been restored by people who love architecture and is still beautifully preserved. It's just amazing. Unfortunately, there was no furniture here, but The chaise longue made of bathtub tiles is reminiscent of the Chaise Longue LC4, designed in 1928 by Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, which was said to be the world's best designed lounge chair.

Interesting. Lots of innovations for the time.

Great place for Modernist lovers

The Villa Savoye is an interesting structure to visit.
