ANCIEN HOTEL BELVEDERE DU RAYON VERT

Built between 1928 and 1932 by Léon Baille, architect for the city of Perpignan, for Jean Deléon, manager of the buffet at Cerbère station. The hotel was designed for a large clientele who had to get off at Cerbère to change trains between France and Spain. Built on a triangular plot of land, the four-storey building is made entirely of reinforced concrete, in the "Paquebot" style. The 'stern' of the building, the courtyards with their rounded ends and the exit from a staircase on the roof terrace, imitating a ship's chimney, are all references to naval architecture, an inspiration that also marks the interior of the building.
