Cap Moderne, Eileen Gray Et le Corbusier Cap Martin

The Sanctuary of Architecture at Cap Martin Overlooking the blue waters of the Mediterranean at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the Cap Moderne site is a unique place in the world, bringing together the masterpieces of two giants of the 20th century: Eileen Gray and Le Corbusier. This open-air repository of modernism houses the famous Villa E-1027, a manifesto of Eileen Gray's sensitive architecture, as well as Le Corbusier's renowned Cabanon and Camping Units. Between architectural avant-garde and wild landscapes, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers a total immersion in the spirit of the Riviera, where concrete and light converse with the horizon. A visit is a plunge into creative intimacy: on one side, Villa E-1027 reveals Eileen Gray's genius for modular furniture and psychological comfort; On the other hand, Le Corbusier's Cabanon (his only vacation home) proves that 13 square meters are enough to create a perfect living space based on the Modulor system. The site also includes the Étoile de Mer, a former restaurant that has become a meeting place for this community of artists. Cap Moderne is not just a collection of monuments; it is a testament to an era when architecture sought to reinvent happiness and freedom by the sea.
