ART DECO ELEGANCE IN THE HEART OF AN URBAN GARDEN 1930S ART DECO HOUSE IN THE CENTRE OF VESOUL Some houses tell the story of an era with rare accuracy. This residence, built in 1930, is one of them. Its architecture bears the signature of architect Paul Giroud, a leading figure in regional architecture between the two world wars. Even today, it reveals the elegant rigour and clean lines characteristic of this period. Behind its structured façade, the rooms are harmoniously arranged. The old parquet floors complement the light Comblanchien stone, while the cherry and ash wood panelling creates a warm and refined atmosphere. Light floods through the rooms thanks to the large windows that punctuate the façades and accompany the volumes throughout the day. The wooded garden, vast and unexpected in the heart of the city, gives the property an almost private feel. In this sought-after residential environment, the property combines architecture, history and potential for development. A home for lovers of living heritage who appreciate the beauty of 20th-century architecture. AN INTERIOR IMPRINTED WITH THE ELEGANCE OF THE 1930S Behind its stone façade, the house reveals an interior where Art Deco architecture is expressed with consistency 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 residence retains many characteristics of this period. The antique parquet floors feature delicate patterns, while the light Comblanchien stone elegantly highlights the circulation areas. Cherry and ash wood panelling adorns the walls and some of the built-in storage units, adding depth and warmth to the living spaces. The high ceilings and ironwork details are testament to the craftsmanship that gives the whole property a timeless atmosphere. Light flows freely thanks to the numerous windows that accompany the volumes and highlight the materials. The reception rooms are organised around a large living room where the generous proportions create an immediate feeling of space and fluidity. The Art Deco staircase, punctuated by an elegant wrought iron banister, is one of the most striking features of the house and structures the flow between the different levels. The clear and balanced interior layout allows for different ways of living in the space. It meets the needs of family life as well as a project combining home and professional activity. THE GARDEN, A RARE BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN THE HEART OF THE CITY At the rear of the property, the grounds feature a large wooded area, which is particularly rare for a house located in the centre of Vesoul. The century-old trees form a dense canopy that preserves the privacy of the property while allowing light to filter through. The open views offer an unexpected feeling of space in an urban environment. Throughout the seasons, the garden reveals different atmospheres. The first blooms accompany the return of sunny days and naturally extend the living spaces outdoors. Summer invites you to enjoy the light shade of the tall trees, while autumn highlights the lines of the house with golden hues. The terrace facing the garden then becomes a privileged place for shared moments or moments of calm. The property also stands out for its approximately 200-square-metre outbuilding, which houses an indoor swimming pool. Built in the 1970s by architect André Maisonnier, a former collaborator of Le Corbusier's studio, this construction introduces an unexpected dialogue between modern architecture and Art Deco heritage. The pool, accompanied by relaxation and service areas, opens up new possibilities for use and harmoniously completes the ensemble.
