Flaine’s resort is awarded the 20th Century Heritage and some buildings are classified as “Historic Monument”. It’s also an open-air museum with Picasso, Dubuffet and Vasarely sculptures.

This positioning as an artistic resort is due to Marcel Breuer. A Hungarian-American architect and designer who was born in 1902 and died in 1981, he was one of the pioneers of modern architecture and made a significant contribution to the Bauhaus movement. Breuer is famous for his contributions to functionalist architecture, particularly for his iconic designs using reinforced concrete and tubular steel. Among his most famous works are the Wassily armchair and the Cesca armchair, both of which have become icons of modern design. Breuer also designed numerous architectural projects around the world.

Flaine is an outstanding example of Breuer's modernist approach, characterised by the bold use of raw concrete and the distinctive geometry of his structures. Designed in the 1960s, the Flaine resort features buildings and public spaces that blend harmoniously into the mountain landscape, while providing a striking contrast with their angular forms and robust materiality.
