foundation Le Corbusier in ParisAnother posting (movie thread) reminded me of a visit to a nice, small museum in Paris: the Le Corbusier Foundation at the Sq. Dr. Blanche in the 16th arrondissement. More or less SW from Place Trocadéro. A nice walk on a sunny day from Trocadéro.
Hidden between the houses you normally see in Paris, there's a monumental-but-not-so-big house that has Le Corbusier's signature all over. The house can be part of a Le Corbusier City walk!

(Mind you, I think that I've read somewhere that LC's apartment is being restored until May 2018 - best check first)

Fas est ab hoste doceri
Bookmarked. Excellent! Thank you.
If you go here out of interest for his style of architecture, then it's worth the 5 minute walk to rue Mallet-Stevens where there are half a dozen houses designed be the eponymous architect who, in my Philistine opinion, produced far more interesting designs. And while you are in the neigbourhood, might as well go to the excellent Musée Marmottan Monet not far away and generally free of crowds.
Both are new to me! Thanks
