Maison-atelier de Foujita, Historical artist residence and workshop in Villiers-le-Bâcle, France
The house contains an attic workshop where French-Japanese artist Léonard Foujita created numerous artworks, including designs for the Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix Chapel in Reims.
Acquired in 1960, this 18th-century building underwent extensive renovation by Foujita, who transformed it into his final residence until his death in 1968.
The interior displays Foujita's personal collection of objects gathered during his travels, reflecting the fusion of Japanese and French artistic influences.
Located at 7-9 Route de Gif, the house offers guided tours by appointment on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:30 to 16:30, weekends from 11:00 to 19:00.
The Department of Essonne maintains the residence exactly as Foujita left it, including a large mural painting that served as preparation for his chapel decorations.
