Résidence  La Coupiane

Urban planning · by Jean Dravet, Georges Borde, Pierre Fries · 1964

avenue Paul-Valéry, Valette-du-Var (La), France

In the early 1960s, the demand for housing in the Toulon area increased, particularly for relocating individuals from North Africa. To address this, urban development was directed towards surrounding municipalities like La Valette-du-Var, where ample flat land was available for development. The construction of a new access road in 1964 linking Toulon to La Valette improved the accessibility of these plots. The 1964 plan was organized around an east-west central axis, featuring commercial spaces at the base of buildings and a recreational center at its core, which included amenities like a snack bar, drugstore, nightclub, swimming pool, and tennis courts, later repurposed as a cultural venue in the 1980s.
