A home that became Villa Haute Guais

The residence that became the ‘Villa Haute Guais’ was built on the seafront for the Paris family around 1880. Dinard then developed locally as the first seaside resort, under the influence of the English aristocracy and the fashion for sea bathing that came with it.

Atypical villas gradually sprang up along the Breton village's coastline, becoming emblematic of the resort and the Belle Epoque effervescence associated with it. The villa was extended for the Pillet-Houet family around 1915. At the same time, a neo-Norman chalet-style caretaker's lodge was added, which still stands at the entrance to the property.

Les mosaïques Odorico

The Villa Haute Guais has the privilege of preserving some precious facings signed by the master mosaicist Isidore Odorico. Such is the case of the small bathroom with its marine motifs, which can be admired on the villa's first floor. The Odorico family and company have accompanied not only the major technical developments in this craft, but also its Art Deco vogue and its artistic consecration with Modernism.

Isidore Odorico fils, born in Rennes in 1893, was a student at the Beaux-Arts before taking over the family business in 1918 and expanding it extensively between the wars, with branches in Angers, Nantes and Dinard.

He worked with his father-in-law, the mosaicist Pietro Favret, as well as with various architects in the west of France.
