The first large-scale project of the famous architect Le Corbusier, the Cité Frugès is classified as a historical monument.

Built in 1926 by Le Corbusier on commission from sugar industrialist Henry Frugès, this housing estate offers an innovative vision of architecture and social housing. Designed as a "cité-jardin" (garden city), the pavilion complex comprises 50 homes. Les quartiers modernes Frugès is both Le Corbusier's first social housing estate and his first large-scale project, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town of Pessac has acquired a skyscraper house, which has been converted into the Maison Frugès-Le Corbusier, and is open to visitors.

Belles couleurs de maisons. J'aurais aimé pouvoir y habiter. Quel modernisme pour l'époque de sa conception ! J'aime surtout la lumière grâce aux fenêtres sur toute la longueur de façade. Le toit terrasse permet de voir loin. La transparence de certaines maisons avec baies vitrées fait vivre les gens dans le jardin. Les arcades d'autres maisons permettent une vue traversante sur la nature. Une cité jardin,ou plutôt les maisons dans la nature.

Det er fedt at se corbusiers huse. Men området er temmelig faldefærdigt, information kun på fransk. Fedt sted hvis man alligevel er i området. Men jeg synes ikke det var en køretur værd i sig selv

Visite guidée tres intéressante et guide agréable merci encore à elle pour plus d'une heure de decouverte culturelle. Lieu à voir c'est indéniable mais certaines maisons sont parfois un peu délabrées ou abandonnées et ça c'est vraiment dommage.
