ArrayYour Experience Explore the architectural manifesto that is the Villa Cavrois, designed by architect and figure of the modernist current, Robert Mallet-Stevens. This emblematic piece of his work was built for a textile manufacturer, Paul Cavrois, and his family in the early 1930s. This villa was dubbed a historic monument in 1990, and the restoration program began well into the early 200s. What makes it so appealing is its imposing proportions, the separation of two symmetrical wings, the lack of ornamental decor in the villa, and the escalation of the rooftop terraces. Not to mention, the modern touch post-renovation that included central heating, elevators, and the use of new industrial materials and techniques. You will explore the vast living area, the intriguing façades, the stunning terrace, and of course, the 72-meter-long water mirror, reflecting the beauty of Villa Cavrois quite nicely!

Created in 2008, the Bayart gallery specialises in modern and contemporary art. With the main focus on sculpture in general and figurative sculpture in particular, Caroline and Thomas Bayart flaunt their preference for 20th-century and contemporary artists. They passionately support and admire sculptors Christophe Charbonnel and Patrick Villa, whose works they exhibit exclusively, promoting and accompanying these artists in their ambition to produce monumental pieces. With sculpture taking pride of place, their work goes hand in hand with their love of drawing which has led them to exhibit artists of complementary talents, close to the world of illustration. The gallery in Le Touquet differs from the Parisian version in that its individual and collective exhibitions follow a much more dynamic programme. The gallery represents contemporary artists and a wide variety of mediums: painting, photography, drawing, design, sculpture, installation, etc. The gallery opens from 10.30am to 1pm and from 2.30pm to 7pm.
