Villa Seurat, Historic dead-end street in Parc-de-Montsouris, Paris, France.
Villa Seurat is a narrow dead-end street that runs about 130 meters through the Parc-de-Montsouris neighborhood, lined with artist houses. The buildings display modernist architecture with clean lines, large windows, and functional design that merges the residents' workshops with their living spaces.
Architect André Lurçat designed the street in the 1920s as a housing project for international artists wanting to settle near the artistic center of Montparnasse. His buildings merged living and working spaces according to modern principles of the era.
The street became a gathering place for artists from around the world who established their studios and homes here together. Walking through today, you can still feel the presence of this creative community that shared both workspace and living quarters.
The street is easy to explore on foot, starting from Rue de la Tombe Issoire. Many artist houses are now private residences, so it is best to admire the architecture from outside and enjoy the quiet atmosphere of this place.
American writer Henry Miller wrote portions of his novel Tropique du Cancer in one of the houses on this street and hosted artists like Soutine and Artaud there. The place remains connected to the bohemian literary and art scene of that era.
