Next to the large Italian columns of the Maison Caillebotte, home of the impressionist painter in Yerres (Essonne), the Swiss Chalet appears almost anachronistic.
The building with “cut-out” wooden balconies, adorned with scaffolding for the last stage of its renovation, is preparing to regain its atypical appearance among the Palladian-inspired architecture of the house and the orangery.
“I like Switzerland!
» laughs Lisa, 60 years old, resident of Yerres, walking in the park of the eleven-hectare estate.
“It’s special, it’s like some kind of madness!”
It’s a wealth for Yerres,” exclaims Paul, 52, who has lived in Yerres for almost ten years, observing the building.
