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.

Ecrin & maison sublimes ; visite instructive et passionnante. Il est nécessaire de réserver à l'avance pour des raisons de jauge (pour profiter pleinement de la visite) et de préservation (de ce patrimoine), mais passée cette "contrainte", la visite est rendue vivante par l'équipe de la Fondation Alto : historique complet de la maison, anecdoctes personnelles sur la vie des Carré et de la maison, ainsi que des informations sur comment ils font vivre la maison aujourd'hui (expos, visites d'artistes). Ils aiment leur sujet et savent le partager

Visite guidée à réserver à l'avance. Se fait en petit groupe avec personnel passionné et explications intéressantes. Dommage de ne pas pouvoir visiter l'étage. Des travaux de rénovations sont prévus.
Pour les fans d'architecture mais pas que...

Architecture des années 50. A besoin de restauration, mais vaut le détour.
