Just wonderful. The guide was exceptionally well informed and passionate. The two hours flew by. Felt very privileged to be on the tour. Make sure you book it in advance.
I was really excited to visit this place. However the websites instructions are very misleading. Basically, they have opening hours... which you'd assume you'd be able to rock up and buy tickets and view... but it seems you must buy tickets and arrive on time for a tour. Outside of these times they lock the gate, start the tour and completely ignore you. Considering this is a tourist destination, you'd assume this would be explained: 'buy ticket online, arrive on time for the tour and enjoy the tour' instead it doesn't. Sadly we travelled really far just to see the gate.
Teach the staff how to treat people with respect and accept that bad things happen and they can help solve them October 2024 We were looking forward to coming to Cabanon de Le Corbusier and purchased our tickets way in advance. We were staying Northwest of Nice and left at 8:00 am for a 10:00 am tour. We tried to load the address on our car - since there is no street address number, the car would not take the address. So we used our Google Maps. We came down the hill and saw the sign for the Cabanon and Google Maps said we were here. We were not there, but we did not know that. I got out of the car and walked around looking for the building. We asked two different groups of people. The first did not know and the second group did, but they did not know how to get there without looking it up on their google maps. Their conclusion was to go the railroad station. Not sure why our tickets did not just give the train station as the address. After all of this we called the staff to say we were coming late and they said too bad - so sad. You are out of luck. We drove there anyhow. They made a bad situation much worse. 1) Did they try to make any accommodations - absolutely not. 2) It was so bad that when we asked to go to the bathroom for some in our party - the receptionist said there were no restrooms around the area - they actually had one and let ticket holders use it - we had six tickets and she was saying no restrooms around. 3) They had an 11:00 am time slot to tour the building without anyone going into the building and we asked if they would just give us a ten minute tour and Amy, who apparently was in charge - said "NO"!. I ran a not for profit for 37 years and we worked to get to yes, never to say no so quickly. Did she do anything to acknowledge that we had driven nearly two hours - that we were probably 900 feet away, just up above and maybe - just maybe she needed to try to do something. NO!!!!!! I have never been treated like this by any museum, cultural facility in my life and in particular in France. One of the staff acted like she wanted to help. Although even her solutions were not helpful. As with most customer issues, these issues have been known to the organization before. I believe they have known that google maps does not get you to the building, have they done anything to solve that? Have they tried to get a number on their address so that car maps can get you there? Have they put any signage up to the area where google maps says you have arrived to solve this issue? Have they trained any of their staff not to dismiss people who have arrived late with some type of accommodation other than you can see it from the outside? In the organization that I ran, my staff would have been trained to resolve issues not make them worse. Did they even try to give us our money back - that was not the option we wanted - they do not offer to give your money back - in fact they say you do not get your money back - but you can write to an address. Save your time - save your money - I am certain this is a worthwhile thing to look at - but if something happens you will run into a buzz saw that shows no mercy and solves no problems. I do not normally turn into an ugly American - but folks and their procedures/attitude can bring it out in anybody.
The Cabanon de Le Corbusier is a small cabin located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, designed by the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. Built in 1952, this iconic structure is a prime example of Le Corbusier's architectural philosophy, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and the integration of living spaces with nature. The cabin measures just 3.66 meters by 3.66 meters, showcasing a minimalist design that reflects Le Corbusier's principles of modularity and spatial efficiency. It features a compact living area, a small kitchen, and a sleeping area, all designed to maximize comfort within a limited space. The cabin is situated on a hillside, providing stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The Cabanon is part of the cultural heritage of the region and is often visited by architecture enthusiasts and tourists interested in Le Corbusier's work. If you're curious about its design principles, history, or how to visit, feel free to ask!
Come on ... booking in advance to see a couple of ordinary beach houses and holiday unit as Eileen Gray E-1027 where nothing is worth the visit and it's no different that Le Corbusier have stayed there when you know his work in cities ... let alone for € 19 !
Not possible to buy a ticket without reservation online (which is unavailable) , rude staff at entrance. Save yourself the trip like me and other people who travelled there a long way in hope to learn more about Le Corbusier.
An aberration to have built a restaurant literally attached to Le Corbusier's cabin. It makes his work lose all significance.
Fabulous experience and excellent guide.

wonderful little location in the heart of a romantic town! nathalie was very accommodating and helpful. the only thing that really bugged me was the bathroom door - a sliding door that couldnt be closed all the way. there was a huge gap between the wall and the door so it was pretty see through and not sound proof. very weird for friends, also not ideal for couples if you ask me. however, we really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back!
WONDERFUL house in a quaint town, the lady that runs the hotel is very sweet and helpful. Be prepared to walk your luggage up many stairs though. (And no ac as expected) but the house is right across the entrance from the 10th century castle. An approx. 20 minute walk down stairs to the nearby hawk beach. (Definately take the bus back up though)
Cutest little spa in the most charming village! Nathalie is so sweet and accomodating - everything was perfect
Absolutely amazing little hide away! So relaxing and super friendly welcome by the staff! 5 star and more 🤗
Lovely hotel in the center of charming Roquebrune-cap-Martin. We only stayed one night but will certainly be back for a longer stay
Misleading advertisement. This is NOT a hotel, its an Airbnb. You only have access to the Spa if you pay 100€ /day in addition, no breakfast/dinner, no reception, 300m steep walkway(only) to drag ur suitcases to this small house/appartement. Please advertise it as is. Lovely surroundings but we won’t be coming back.
(Translated by Google) A moment suspended in time... My partner and I had a magical experience, a mixture of relaxation and escape. The black soap ritual enveloped us in softness, and we emerged feeling light, soothed, with skin as soft as a baby's. Thank you to the woman who welcomed us with kindness and passion; she hadn't lied to us: the magic really works. We recommend it without hesitation! (Original) Un instant suspendu, hors du temps… Avec mon conjoint, nous avons vécu une expérience magique, entre détente et évasion. Le rituel au savon noir nous a enveloppés de douceur, nous en sommes ressortis légers, apaisés, la peau douce comme celle d’un bébé. Merci à la dame qui nous a accueillis avec bienveillance et passion, elle ne nous avait pas menti : la magie opère vraiment. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !
(Translated by Google) A perfect stay in an enchanting setting! We loved every moment: the spa, the sauna, and this timeless atmosphere. A real favorite for an unforgettable break! We will be back. (Original) Un séjour parfait dans un cadre enchanteur ! Nous avons adoré chaque instant : le spa, le sauna, et cette atmosphère hors du temps. Un véritable coup de cœur pour une parenthèse inoubliable ! Nous reviendrons.

This 1000 old olive tree is absolutely incredible and the view from the other side is just as stunning. highly recommend to take the easy path from the old village to here. you can continue this route all the way down.
Been to this charming village several times to admire the centuries-old olive tree. Truly remarkable. Lovely views too over the Mediterranean.
Absolutely recommend coming to see this over 1000 year old olive tree if you’re in the area. Seeing it in person was outstanding and blew me away.
Beautiful huge oldest olive tree in Historical place.
The Olivier Millénaire, or Millennial Olive Tree, is a renowned ancient olive tree located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France. This remarkable tree is estimated to be over a thousand years old, making it a significant natural and cultural landmark in the region. The Olivier Millénaire is not only valued for its age but also for its impressive size and gnarled appearance, which showcases the resilience of olive trees in the Mediterranean climate. Olive trees have a deep-rooted history in this area, symbolizing peace and prosperity. Visitors often come to admire this ancient tree, which is set in a beautiful environment that reflects the heritage of olive cultivation in the region. If you would like to know more about its history or significance, just let me know!
Vito, that's how I call this impressive tree. Try to imagine what happened around him during his life span. Look at the strange faces naturally designed on the surface
Impressive tree, nice walk to get there

Amazing tour and very friendly staff! The tour is 2 hours long and covers the Eileen Gray Villa, the camping lodge and the hut of le corbusier. Many details are given. The small museum is also quite interesting. I didn’t know that a reservation multiple weeks in advance is necessary but luckily someone cancelled so I got a spot still. Thank you a lot of the great tour to the guides and the people preserving these landmarks.
Amazing architectures, with stunning views, the tour guide was nice and informative ( and patient ). I didn’t want the tour to end, it lasted about 2 hours. There are two tours in the day, 10 am and 2 pm , you have to reserve online first. There are a tour in English and a tour in French. If you are staying in Monaco/Nice you can take the train ( very cheap and fast ) or the bus 100 from Monaco ( but you’ll have to walk for 20mins )
Great place if you are a nerd for architechture. Great guides and an exclusive experience as the groups are small.
Amazing view over Monaco. Don't forget to disable your data roaming. EU tariffs don't apply in Monaco.
Book early, E1027 is not open without the tours. I did it twice very good to hear more than one guide's thoughts
Beautiful, must see tour if you love the work of Eileen Gray and Le Coubusier. Our guide was extremely informative and the visit lasted over 2 hours in total. Very inspiring, with stunning views over the coast. Unfortunately, we were greeted by a very unfriendly dark haired lady working on the reception who was rude and unhelpful, great shame. Apart from that excellent.
Extremely bureaucratic and customer unfriendly ticket office. This is not a recommendation for this beautiful villa. We booked our ticket via internet. Unfortunately with the wrong date. Three times we asked very friendly wether we could change the date. Following our request we got piles of documentation apparently used to support the buraucratic and very formal response: NJET - NJET - NJET. This approach is so unfriendly and old fashioned that we were shocked. This is absolutely not in the spirit of this beautiful project.
The two ladies that are looking after or responsible are just adorable. Thank you

Loved this place. We were there to watch a comedian called Franjo. The garden is so nice for a short walk.
A beautiful park, with many exhibits of sculptures and flower compositions. Children and families enjoy a relaxing time, even birthday parties and picnics! We had a great walk.
This park is bigger than shown on Google Maps! Lots of olive trees, fig trees, citrus trees, and flowers. There are art sculptures and a lot of room to walk around. Very pleasant park
Beautiful place to have a rest with kids, family friends.
Nice park perfect for children. Some art sculptures at the entrance, well maintained. Public toilet available.
Lovely. Great kids playground
First visit. Perfect for outdoor celebrations
The best park in Europe with fantastic old tries over 1000years old. Also advise to visit a lonely tree uphills which might have almost 2000 years.
I'll never travel to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin without this trip planner again
