Villa Seurat in Paris, France
Ad 728×90
In Paris, the 14th arrondissement is rarely visited by tourists. Yet many places there are worth a visit.
The Villa Seurat is one of them. Contrary to what its name might suggest, it is not a large and luxurious country house, because in Paris, the term "villa" refers to a street or cul-de-sac lined with individual houses.
This one was built between 1920 and 1926 on land that had previously been used for stables and sheds. It is named after the painter Georges Seurat, inventor of pointillism, and is unique in that it houses several studios that were designed from the outset for artists.
