Alvar Aalto's only house in France, built for the famous gallery owner Louis Carré in the 1960s.

Gallery owner Louis Carré, passionate about contemporary art, commissioned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto to build the "Maison Carré" from 1957 to 1960. His only condition: the shape of the roof - sloping to fit the landscape. The immaculate building combines unity, simplicity and rigor, and defines an ideal of expression and sophistication in the choice of materials. The interior decoration was completed by commissions from the famous gallery owner's artist friends. Listed as a historic monument, the house is Alvar Aalto's only home in France. Not to be missed.

Excellente découverte à Bazoches de la maison de Louis Carré architecte Alvar Aalto. Superbe maison meublée avec les meubles d’origine dont certains créés par l’architecte lui-même

Si on pouvait mettre 0 étoile, on le ferait tout de suite ! Vraiment rien d'exceptionnel pour qui n'est pas passionné d'architecture d'intérieure d'époque, et la visite fut assez nulle. Le seul truc divertissant (mais triste) : les deux nanas à l'entrée, qui pètent plus haut que leur *** en pensant garder l'entrée du Louvre. Bref, ça ne valait pas la route ni le prix. Heureusement, la maison Jean Monnet juste en face, gratuite, était bien plus plaisante et enrichissante.
