A stone's throw from Saint-Etienne, the site of Firminy Vert delights connoisseurs and the curious: a multicolored housing unit, a somewhat bizarre cone-shaped church, a concave cultural centre, an amphitheater-style stadium and a pool. Do you want Le Corbusier, here it is. It's beautiful and in addition, the place is full of little crispy anecdotes. Did you know that the housing unit was his second greatest achievement in the world? And that the windows of the Maison de la Culture were musical? And guess which constellation appears in the concrete of Saint-Pierre Church? In short, go there for a little lesson in creativity.
