Villa Noailles, Modern architecture villa on Mediterranean hills in Hyères, France
The Villa Noailles stands on elevated ground, featuring angular concrete forms, large windows, and a triangular garden designed by Gabriel Guevrekian.
Constructed between 1923 and 1927 by architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, the villa became a residence for art patrons Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles.
The villa maintains its role as an arts center, presenting exhibitions of contemporary art and hosting an international festival of fashion and photography.
Visitors can explore the 1,800-square-meter property from Wednesday to Sunday between 1 PM and 6 PM, with guided tours available on specific dates.
The Italian Army transformed this modernist masterwork into a hospital during 1940, marking a significant shift from its original purpose as an artistic sanctuary.

The port city of Toulon on the French Mediterranean coast offers numerous subjects for photographers. The historic city centre displays buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Sainte-Marie-Majeure Cathedral and the town hall with its atlantes by Pierre Puget. The military harbour, one of France's main naval bases, presents warships and submarines. Mont Faron rises 584 metres above the city and provides views across the Toulon roadstead and coastline. The cable car leads to the summit, where the Memorial du débarquement en Provence is located. At the foot of the mountain lies the Mourillon district with its sandy beach and colourful facades along the promenade. The Cours Lafayette market takes place daily and showcases the region's Mediterranean produce. The Toulon Opera House, built in the 19th century, ranks among the largest opera houses in France outside Paris. The old harbour Darse Vieille displays fishing boats and yachts against the backdrop of limestone cliffs.
