A city within a city, that's a good idea. It was the idea of Le Corbusier, the visionary architect who needs no introduction.
A stone's throw from Saint-Etienne, the Firminy-Vert site is a treat for connoisseurs and the curious alike: a multicoloured Unité d'Habitation, a rather bizarre cone-shaped church, a concave Maison de la Culture, an amphitheatre-style stadium and a swimming pool. You name it, it's Le Corbusier. It's beautiful and, what's more, it's full of juicy little anecdotes. Did you know that the Unité d'Habitation was his second largest building in the world? And that the windows of the Maison de la Culture were musical? And guess what constellation appears in the concrete of Saint-Pierre church? In short, come along to the site for a little lesson in creativity.
Adult: 6.50 to 8 €. Free entry for children under 8.
