Espace Bézard-Le Corbusier

The Espace Bézard - Le Corbusier is dedicated to Norbert Bézard's and Le Corbusier's utopian project to develop the countryside in the 1930s.

It houses a permanent exhibition entitled "La Ferme radieuse et le village coopératif" (The Radiant Farm and the Cooperative Village), which traces the unique history of this utopia through plans, models, archives and selected correspondence.

Having never seen the light of day, the project was to be set up in Piacé and then extended to the whole of the region. Norbert Bézard was the guiding principle, and Le Corbusier the architect.
The space also features ceramics, drawings and paintings by Norbert Bézard.

It is part of the Destinations Le Corbusier : promenades architecturales itinerary, certified as a "Cultural Itinerary of the Council of Europe" in 2019 and comprising 21 towns, 6 countries and 24 of Le Corbusier's architectural sites.
