Sanatoriums

A sanatorium was a health resort facility built in the days when antibiotics had not yet been invented and tuberculosis was rampant.
In the 1920s, Plateau d'Assy, with its superb location and fresh air, was chosen as the site for many of these health resorts. The most daring architects of the day were called upon to design revolutionary facilities that made use of the warm sunshine to provide essential patient care. Their reputation was renowned the world over.
