VILLA CECILE - Avenue Professeur Henrijean, N°3

Like all the villas on this avenue, Villa Cécile is surrounded by a vast garden enclosed by hedges. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, it is constructed mainly of sandstone rubble, with a wood-panelled top floor. The entrances are preceded by stoops sheltered by wooden porticoes. The main entrance porch is topped by a small wooden balcony.The garden still occupies an important place around the villa. Surrounded by gates or hedges, it is designed to showcase the villa while protecting it from the outside world. Trees and shrubs of local species provide shade in summer, while paths and lanes lead to flowerbeds and sometimes a pond.
