About the location

Villa Téthys

14 avenue de la Plage, 33260 la Test-de-Buch

Gironde
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

This villa is part of a set of five villas built by architect Roger-Henri Expert in Arcachon from 1924 to 1927\. Located on the edge of the ocean, Villa Thétys (named after a Greek marine goddess) is organized around a large central rotunda room that recalls both Greek and Palladian architecture. Facing the sea on the west side, it overlooks, on the east side, a regular garden also designed by Expert, which mixes architecture, vegetation and water games and gives this facade a more intimate appearance.
