Villa Cavrois

Designed by architect Robert Mallet-Stevens between 1929 and 1932, the Villa Cavrois is considered a masterpiece of modernist Art Deco architecture. Occupied by the family until 1987, it suffered extensive damage between 1988 and 2001, despite being listed as a "Monument Historique" in the meantime. Acquired by the French state in 2001, it was handed over to the Centre des Monuments Nationaux for restoration. Today, this magnificent residence and its grounds are open to the public in their original splendor. Classified as a Historic Monument in 1990 thanks to the mobilization of the general public, and acquired by the State in 2001, the gigantic restoration project launched in 2003 by the DRAC Nord Pas-de-Calais and then taken over in 2008 by the Centre National des Monuments Historiques was completed in June 2015.
