Here is a very atypical house built at a two streets crossing but without respecting the expected angular shape.

Built in two phases, one in 1923 by an unknown architect and the other in 1936 by architect Robert Piquet.

It features cottage-style elements downstairs, with beautiful masonry work and lattice windows, and Art Deco style at the top with its white plaster and metal frames, a curious mix that gives it a certain personality.
