The last construction site of the interwar period, the Villa Bleue, built in 1931 in Barcelonnette for Camille Jean, founder of Francia Maritima in Mexico City, occupies the large plot left vacant on the elegant Porfirio Diaz Avenue, divided between 1905 and 1913.
Description
The imposing construction spectacularly concludes a 50-year period of resort architecture in the valley.
This ambitious villa brings together the brilliant association of architects and decorative artists gathered in 1925 at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris, under the direction of the architect Joseph Hiriart.
