Villa Savoye
About
Villa Savoye, a masterpiece of modernist architecture designed by Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret, sits on the outskirts of Paris in Poissy. Completed in 1931, it epitomises the architect’s Five Points—pilotis, free floor plan, roof terrace, long horizontal windows, and free façade—making it an iconic example of the International style. Today, the villa is open to the public year‑round under the care of the Centre des monuments nationaux, offering visitors a fascinating journey through 20th‑century architecture. Visitors can explore the house’s bold concrete form, panoramic terraces, and the harmony between form and light, all while learning about the villa’s historical and cultural significance within the Le Corbusier canon. Admission is €9 for adults, €4.50 for visitors aged 18‑25, and free for minors and EU residents aged 18‑25, highlighting the site’s commitment to accessibility and education.
