Discover six masterpieces by Le Corbusier between the 13th and 14th arrondissements. The Le Corbusier trail in southeast Paris aims to showcase several notable buildings by the renowned Franco-Swiss architect, constructed between the 1920s and 1950s. One of them is little known but boasts a simple facade that offers valuable insights into the architect's theories. A nearby dead-end street also allows visitors to admire the garden and the rear of the building.<br><br> After emigrating to France, Le Corbusier sought to make a name for himself and began building for close friends. Thus, the first house he built in Paris, still standing today, aimed to symbolize the principles he established for modern architecture. His theories were adopted by many other architects and have had a controversial influence to this day.<br><br> The tour will also allow visitors to admire several other large-scale buildings that revolutionized collective housing in the 1920s and 1930s. Today, some of the buildings seen along the route are among Le Corbusier's UNESCO-recognized works, testaments to his undeniable innovation and his commitment to renewing housing to better serve its inhabitants.
