Square du Docteur-Blanche, Garden square and private road in Auteuil district, Paris, France.
Description
Square du Docteur-Blanche is a private road and green space in the Auteuil district that runs for 94 meters and measures only 5 meters wide. It starts at number 53 bis of rue du Docteur-Blanche and is lined with residential buildings and the famous Le Corbusier villas.
History
The square was established in 1927 and named after physician Esprit Blanche, who founded a medical facility in the area in 1846. The villas were built later and document the development of modern architecture in the 20th century within this Paris neighborhood.
Culture
The two villas along this square were designed by Le Corbusier and now house the Fondation Le Corbusier. They show the modernist architecture that defines the area and draws visitors interested in design history.
Practical
The area is private and therefore not freely accessible to visitors. The nearest Metro station Jasmin on line 9 is within walking distance and makes it easy to reach for tourists who wish to visit the architecture foundation.
