At the gateway to Paris, the Villa Savoye is one of the key creations of the work of Le Corbusier.
It was in Passy, between 1928 and 1931 that Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Janneret built an exceptional weekend villa commissioned by Mr and Mrs Savoye. The Villa Savoye is also called ‘Les Heures Claires’ (in English ‘the bright hours’). In fact, the luminous ambience was one of the prerequisites insisted on by Eugénie Savoye in her letter commissioning the work, and the sun shines right through the house.
This resolutely avant-garde residence is considered to be typical of modern architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Villa Savoye is the fruit of ten years of research and experiments carried out by Le Corbusier.
The ticket gives access to the villa and to the temporary exhibitions.
