Golf Beauvallon Grimaud Cote D Azur (2)Built in 1929 by the architect Pierre Chareau, a great furniture designer who also created all the furnishings.
The deliberately graphic items, now dispersed, contributed strongly to the pleasant overall design.
The golf course covers 40 hectares and offers a varied 18-hole course with sea views.
The Serpentine pavilion was built in 2002 by Toyo Ito (architect) and Cecil Balmond (designer and structural engineer), at the request of the Serpentine Gallery (London). It was installed in Beauvallon in 2010.
Together, the architect and designer wanted to produce a special structure that would take on the shape of a cube.
The Serpentine Gallery invites leading architects to build pavilions each year, and then places the building in its garden.
The pavilion hosts exhibitions for 3 months, then is dismantled and sold to collectors, museums, galleries, etc. This is how it ended up on the Beauvallon estate, along the beach (visible only from the pontoon alongside the estate).
