An architectural manifesto, Villa Cavrois, the work of architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, a figure of the modernist school, was designed and built in Croix between 1929 and 1932 for Paul Cavrois, a textile industrialist from the Nord department, and his family. Listed as a historical monument in 1990 thanks to citizen mobilisation, and acquired by the State in 2001, the huge restoration project implemented in 2003 by the DRAC Nord-Pas-de Calais and then taken over by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux in 2008 will be completed in 2015.
What an amazing building and a must for art deco and architecture fans. There's a good film showing down in the basement as well showing the meticulous restoration process. Getting there was very easy too, a short hop on the tram and a ten minute walk. Easy to combine with a trip to La Piscine Museum in Roubaix as well.
