Our opinion
This residence, which was once a guest house, with its basement sport’s room, swimming pool, massage parlour and changing rooms has now become an astonishing house with the most amazing architectural features. It currently bears witness, to the genius of a man who, although his name has been forgotten, has become the trademark of one of the finest companies in French industry.
The sober but elegant restoration and decoration will enable future owners to move in straight away without having to undertake any works.
