La Bluette, Art Nouveau cottage in Hermanville-sur-Mer, France.

The limestone and pebble facade of La Bluette features curved timber framing and seashell decorations that reflect its coastal location.

Architect Hector Guimard designed La Bluette in 1899 for Parisian lawyer Prosper Grivelllé, with a garage and bedroom addition in 1925.

The villa stands as a rare example of Art Nouveau architecture in Calvados, distinguished by its blue-painted woodwork and maritime influences.

Located at 272 rue du Pré-de-l'Isle, La Bluette sits 75 meters from the seafront, accessible through the Allée Armand Fichot path.

The property represents the only known collective holiday residence created by Guimard during his first construction period.
