Origin and history

Villa Lafond, located in Chamalières in Puy-de-Dôme, is a remarkable example of bourgeois architecture in the early twentieth century. Built in the first quarter of this century, it is distinguished by its two-storey structure, its coated walls and its frames of Volvic stone bays, decorated with metal lampequins. These stylistic elements reflect the taste of the era for a blend of classic elegance and neat ornamentation, typical of the affluent residences of the region.

The villa was listed as a Historic Monument by order of 26 October 2000, a protection that covers not only the house itself, but also its garden, its fence wall with its gate, as well as its interiors and their decorations (woodworks, fireplaces). This official recognition underlines the heritage value of the building, both for its external architecture and for the richness of its interior arrangements, characteristic of the bourgeois houses of the time.

Located at 12 avenue de Royat, the villa enjoys a geographical location marked by a location accuracy assessed as "passible" (note 5/10). Although practical information about its visit or current use (rent, guest rooms) is not specified in the available sources, its status as a Historic Monument makes it an important testimony to the architectural and social heritage of Chamalières and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
