Villa Les Bleuets, Class A cultural property in Prangins, Switzerland.
Villa Les Bleuets is a four-story residential building on Lake Geneva's shore with eight bedrooms and four reception rooms. The property includes a three-hectare park and features a private harbor directly on the water.
Architect Stephen Sauvestre designed the building between 1897 and 1898 for Jean-Philippe Worth, a Paris fashion designer and son of the renowned Charles Frederick Worth. The house was built during a period when Lake Geneva's shores became favored residences for wealthy European families.
The name refers to a flower and reflects the property's connection to the natural surroundings. It became a symbol of how wealthy Parisian society chose to live on the lakeside at the turn of the 20th century.
The property sits about 12 kilometers from Geneva in a calm location on the lake shore. Access is straightforward, and the private harbor makes it possible to visit from the water.
The private harbor has a semi-elliptical shape and was an unusual engineering achievement when built. With its size, it remains one of the largest private harbors on Lake Geneva today.
