Betelgeuse building

summer

Winter

Often compared to the Le Flaine hotel, the Bételgeuse building differs from its neighbour in that it has no masonry base and an abundance of projecting balconies, emblematic of Bauhaus architecture.

The Betelgeuse building is strategically placed to “close off” the forum and give it the shape of a rectangular square. Its roof was listed as a Historic Monument on 29 April 1991.
