Le Cercle - FERMÉ sur Poissy

Going there was the personal milestone I needed to finally complete my Architecture degree, something like a last required course. 100% recommended. There are some maintenance details that could be improved, and the women who helped us at reception spoke Spanish, which is rare in the outskirts of Paris.

One of Le Corbusier's early works that had fallen into disrepair but has since been restored to its current museum quality. Well worth the visit.

Excellent place, outside of time

A superb, avant-garde modern villa dating from 1931. Upon arrival, one is immediately struck by a cubic house, light and airy with its columns, seemingly floating on the grass. Le Corbusier crafted a truly beautiful and innovative piece of architecture for its time, with large openings to the outside, allowing the house to be bathed in light. The interior was designed with minimalism and practicality in mind, featuring a fluid layout and views and angles that offer beautiful perspectives from every angle. The roof garden invites contemplation, and one can easily imagine the Savoye family and their guests enjoying this haven of peace. It was a wonderful visit. One small drawback: the house is unfurnished, which some might find a bit of a shame. A must-see if you are a fan of modern architecture.

A pleasant visit, but the house is in a state of disrepair, and the upkeep is a bit of a letdown considering the monument it's supposed to be. Even the entrance is frankly uninviting. A bit disappointing.

Even if you don't want to go inside for a visit (it costs money), you can walk around the garden (it's free). The interior is so modern! Magnificent!

An emblem of architecture, which has shaped and continues to shape man's life in the built world.

Wow, we love this place. You must visit and buy a print! 🫶🏽

Villa Savoye is an exceptional building and a place that every architect or architecture enthusiast should visit. Experiencing Le Corbusier’s work in person allows you to truly understand its clarity, importance, and architectural value. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful, making the visit even more enjoyable. Overall, it is a remarkable place with outstanding architectural significance and excellent hospitality.

A futuristic, minimalist villa. Thank goodness it wasn't destroyed. Enjoy the solarium just like today. The audio guide is essential.
