L’Unité d’Habitation

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:01:53

Visionary international-style architect Le Corbusier redefined urban living in 1952 with the completion of his vertical 337-apartment ‘garden city’, also known as La Cité Radieuse (The Radiant City). Today mostly private apartments, it also houses a hotel, Hôtel Le Corbusier , the high-end restaurant Le Ventre de l’Architecte and a rooftop terrace. Architecture buffs can book guided tours (adult/child €10/5) that include a model apartment – contact the tourist office.
