Le Cabanon :
"I have a chateau on the Côte d'Azur, it measures 3.66 x 3.66 m.
It's for my wife, it's extravagant in comfort and kindness".
This is how Le Corbusier described his Cabanon, built in 1952,
according to the rules of harmonious measurements defined
in the 'Modular'. He kept up the habit of 'summering' in his
Cabanon at the seaside until the end of his life in 1965.

| Tombe de Le Corbusier L'Etoile de Mer : In 1947, Thomas Rebutato bought the small strip of land next to Gray's Villa. At first he wanted a cabin that he could use for his fishing equipment and family picnic, later he transformed it into a bistro-restaurant. Le Corbusier painted the murals on the facade and in the bedroom. |
