THE HISTORY OF VILLA LAUBRY
The villa owes its name to its illustrious owners, Charles Laubry, father and son. The most renowned, Charles Laubry son, a talented cardiologist and member of the Academy of Medicine, made history by developing the tensiometer, an instrument that revolutionized medical practice by measuring blood pressure. This scientific and financial success gave the family the means to expand the residence: from the initial house, new wings were built over the years, whose architectural composition still tells the story of their gradual evolution today.
A visionary committed to the ideals of hygiene, Charles Laubry had water points installed in every room of the house, a discreet reflection of his practices and beliefs. But the Villa was also a place of encounters and prestige: Georges Clemenceau himself stayed there, inscribing within its walls the memory of an era where science, politics, and the art of living came together.
The garden, for its part, successively wore two faces. Originally designed with the rigor of a French garden, it gradually transformed into an English garden, freer and more romantic, where the perspectives seem left to the care of nature itself. This passage from classical to picturesque reflects the evolution of tastes, but also the art of living in a house that has always managed to remain in dialogue with its time.
Today, Villa Laubry combines these legacies: the scientific audacity of a visionary family, the legacy of illustrious guests, and the beauty of a setting that has evolved without losing its soul. By opening its doors, we wish to honor this history and offer our visitors the rare experience of a house where past and present elegantly intertwine.
