L'élégance Art Déco Au Coeur D'un Jardin Urbain

ART DECO ELEGANCE IN THE HEART OF AN URBAN GARDEN ART DECO HOUSE FROM THE 1930s IN THE CENTER OF VESOUL Some houses tell the story of an era with rare accuracy. This home, built in 1930, is one of them. Its architecture bears the signature of architect Paul Giroud, a prominent figure in regional architecture between the wars. It still reveals today the elegant rigor and clean lines characteristic of that period. Behind its structured facade, the volumes are harmoniously arranged. The original parquet floors complement the light Comblanchien stone, while cherry and ash wood paneling create a warm and refined atmosphere. Light floods the rooms through large openings that punctuate the facades and follow the volumes throughout the day. The tree-filled garden, large and unexpected in the heart of the city, gives the property an almost private dimension. In this sought-after residential area, the place combines architecture, history, and potential for development. A home for lovers of living heritage, sensitive to the beauty of 20th-century architecture. AN INTERIOR FILLED WITH THE ELEGANCE OF THE THIRTIES Behind its stone facade, the house reveals an interior where Art Deco architecture is expressed with coherence and precision. Built in 1930 by architect Paul Giroud, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and an active figure in regional architecture between the wars, the home retains many characteristic features of this period. The original parquet floors display delicate patterns while the light Comblanchien stone elegantly highlights the circulation areas. Cherry and ash wood paneling adorn the walls and some built-in storage, adding depth and warmth to the living spaces. The high ceilings and wrought iron details testify to artisanal craftsmanship, giving the whole an timeless atmosphere. Light flows freely thanks to numerous openings that accompany the volumes and showcase the materials. The reception rooms are organized around a large living room where generous proportions create an immediate sense of space and fluidity. The Art Deco staircase, punctuated by an elegant wrought iron railing, is one of the most striking elements of the house and structures movement between the different levels. The clear and balanced interior layout allows for various ways of living in the space. It suits both family life and a project combining residence and professional activity. THE GARDEN, A RARE BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN THE CITY CENTER At the rear of the property, the land unfolds into a large wooded area particularly rare for a house located in the center of Vesoul. Century-old trees create a dense green setting that preserves the property’s privacy while allowing light to circulate. The open views offer an unexpected sense of space in an urban environment. Throughout the seasons, the garden reveals different atmospheres. Early blooms accompany the return of spring and naturally extend the living spaces outdoors. Summer invites enjoyment of the light shade of the tall trees, while autumn highlights the house’s lines with golden hues. The terrace facing the garden then becomes a privileged place for shared moments or quiet times. The property also features an outbuilding of about two hundred square meters housing an indoor pool. Built in the 1970s by architect André Maisonnier, a former collaborator of Le Corbusier’s studio, this structure introduces an unexpected dialogue between modern architecture and Art Deco heritage. The pool, accompanied by relaxation and service areas, opens new usage possibilities and harmoniously complements the whole. VESOUL, BETWEEN URBAN HERITAGE AND NATURAL LANDSCAPES Located in the heart of Vesoul, the house benefits from a lively and pleasant urban environment. Shops, schools, and daily services are part of an accessible and vibrant city fabric. This proximity enhances the residential quality of the property while allowing full enjoyment of the rhythm and conviviality of the city center. Vesoul has a rich history and architectural heritage marked by different periods that shape its identity today. The old streets, characterful facades, and lively squares create an urban landscape where tradition dialogues with contemporary life.
