Presentation
The villa Cavrois, built in the early 1930s by the architect Mallet Stevens for the Cavrois family, is a veritable contemporary château that incorporates all the advanced techniques of the time and is an aesthetic shock whose effects can still be felt today. Reinforced concrete structures, large bay windows, indirect lighting, ventilation, telephone and radio in every room, central heating and a lift make this building a condensed version of modernity.
A real break with the times, this unusual residence invites you to plunge into the intimacy of the Cavrois family, wealthy industrialists of the early 20th century.
Even if you've visited it on your own or with an audio-guide, don't miss this unique opportunity to benefit from the commentary of a tour guide!
