Stay in an unusual place in Marseille
Presentation
Practical information
The spirit of Le Corbusier more alive than ever. Try the Cité Radieuse.
The Radiant City, we owe it to Le Corbusier.
A man of letters, architect, urban planner, decorator born in French-speaking Switzerland ;-)
A housing unit for Le Corbusier, this concrete block on stilts is a vertical village of 337 apartments integrating all the collective facilities necessary for daily life. With its streets, daycare and school, shops, library, and even its hotel designed from the outset by the architect.
Known worldwide, classified as a historical monument, The Radiant City reconnects with contemporary art. On the rooftop terrace that Le Corbusier had designed to house an open-air gym and a small pool for children, all perched 56 meters high with one of the most beautiful panoramas of the city, Ora-Ito has set up an art center open to all, the MaMo.
When this gym, closed since 2010, was put up for sale, this talented designer, a great admirer of Le Corbusier and a Marseillais to boot, embarked on its acquisition and created the MAMO, a contraction of Marseille Modulor and a nod to the Moma in New York.
In summer, the rooftop terrace features an exclusive exhibition by a key artist on the contemporary scene, and in winter, more intimate exhibitions, workshops, and creative laboratories. After the carte blanche given to Xavier Veilhan in summer 2013, Ora-Ito opened the MaMo to Daniel Buren, Dan Braham, and Felice Varini. In 2019, a new very beautiful exhibition is announced: opening on June 8.
The Mucem and the MaMo, two arty excuses to plan a getaway to the south.
Head to the hotel of the Radiant City, go to the 3rd floor, and find the room that suits you to admire Marseille and the Frioul islands. Alone, as a couple or with family, sea or park view, each of the 21 rooms tells us the aesthetics and functionality as seen by Le Corbusier (all details in the Practical Information tab).
To learn more about the 'Maison du Fada' and the four other Housing Units built after the Second World War in Briey-en-Forêt, Rezé-lès-Nantes, Firminy, Berlin, the website of the Radiant City.
