The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
A partir des établissements thermaux nés au début du 20e siècle le long de la vallée de la Couze, Jean Giraudon, entrepreneur, décida vers 1880 de créer une station dont il se fit le promoteur, l'urbaniste, l'architecte et le constructeur. Après l'édification des thermes et du casino, il éleva des villas à des fins locatives dont cette villa russe au style éclectique, mariant des emprunts à l'architecture balnéaire à des références à l'architecture neo-mauresque.

History
Following the thermal establishments that were founded at the beginning of the 20th century along the Couze valley, Jean Giraudon, an entrepreneur, decided around 1880 to create a spa resort, which he promoted, planned, designed and built. After the construction of the thermal baths and the casino, he erected villas for rental purposes, including this Russian villa in eclectic style, combining borrowings from spa resort architecture with references to neo-Moorish architecture.
