House Zervos, Modern architecture residence in La Goulotte, France.
Description
House Zervos is a modern residence in Vézelay with a white facade and horizontal bands of windows that flood the interior with natural light. The building displays clean lines and open spaces that reflect early 20th-century contemporary design principles.
History
Architect Jean Badovici renovated the building between 1937 and 1943, integrating modern design principles from his architecture journal L'Architecture vivante. This renovation transformed it into a significant example of modern architecture in France.
Culture
The residence served as a gathering place for artists like Fernand Léger, Le Corbusier, Paul Éluard, and Picasso to meet and exchange ideas. It functioned as a hub for artistic dialogue and creative encounters during that era.
Practical
The house welcomes visitors mainly during summer afternoons within a specific time window. It is best to check ahead about opening hours and access conditions before planning your visit.
Did you know?
During World War II, the house provided shelter to people fleeing German occupation. The Zervos couple remained there throughout this period, playing a quiet but important role in protecting those in danger.
