Villa Lavaurs, 19th century villa in Center district, Fontainebleau, France.

Villa Lavaurs stands with three floors above ground and one basement level, featuring a grand staircase at its entrance with double flights of steps.

Built in 1897 by Count Raymond Lavaurs on the former site of the Hotel des Quatre Secretaires, the villa served as a military art museum until 2010.

The villa contained a large ballroom with carved wooden panels and a substantial bronze chandelier that decorated the main salon for many decades.

The building changed functions over time, housing a girls' high school annex and the International Library of Contemporary Music on its first floor.

In 2017, Urban Premium purchased the property to transform it into rental apartments, marking a new chapter in the building's long history.
