La pausa

Gabrielle Chanel began the construction of La Pausa, her ideal Mediterranean villa, almost a century ago. In 2015, the House of Chanel embarked on a project to restore La Pausa's original spirit, as the couturière herself had conceived it : home for guests and gatherings, luxurious yet simple, surrounded by nature. This volume invites readers to discover through its architecture and interiors the history of this singular place, which exemplifies the cultural landscape of the 1930s.
