Le Grand Chalet (1)

Built in four years, from 1752 to 1756, the "Grande Maison" ("Big House") was renamed "Grand Chalet" in 1852, when it was transformed into a hotel where Victor Hugo stayed, among others. It has 113 windows, 436 m2 of floor space and 5 levels, cellars not included. It was bought by Balthus in 1976 and is still inhabited by Setsuko Klossowska de Rola, the painter's widow, and it cannot be visited.
