Cap-Martin : architecture beside the sea

The Riviera hilltop village of Roquebrune
underwent dramatic changes when the
enormous wooded tongue of land of Cap
Martin became a kind of aristocratic annexe
of Menton at the start of the 19^th century.
Sumptuous villas, lush parks with their
exotic-smelling plants, beautiful jagged
rocks plunging down to the sea, ancient
olive trees... this is where the design pioneer
Eileen Gray, and later Le Corbusier
chose to build their dream "retreats".
E 1027, the Maison en bord de mer, and
Le Corbusier's Cabanon and Unités de
Camping are unique examples of the new
architecture between the world wars.
