Mairie-église de Valbonne

The Mairie-église de Valbonne, also known as the Centre de Vie Sophia Antipolis, is a public building located at 1 Place Du Baile, 06560 Valbonne, France. Designed by architect Pierre Fauroux in collaboration with Emilio Bernegger, Bruno Keller, and Edy Quaglia, the project was completed in 1989. The building uniquely combines a town hall and a place of worship within a single structure, addressing spatial constraints by superimposing the two functions while maintaining their independence. The design features a cylindrical church situated above the town hall, with separate entrances for each. The structure is recognized as part of the 20th-century heritage and has been labeled as remarkable contemporary architecture. (culture.gouv.fr)
