Villa Paul Poiret in Mézy-sur-Seine, Yvelines, France, is an early 1920s Cubism-inspired Art Deco private house originally designed by architect Robert Mallet-Stevens. The house stands in 48,500 square metres (12.0 acres) of parkland in Mézy-sur-Seine, to the west of Paris, overlooking the Seine Valley. It is constructed in reinforced concrete in a geometric style, has 25 rooms on three levels, 800 square metres (8,600 sq ft) of internal space, an upper terrace with panoramic views, and a 7-metre-tall (23 ft) corner salon with floor-to-ceiling windows.Villa Paul Poiret was commissioned by fashion designer Paul Poiret in 1921; its building completed in 1925. The house fell into disrepair, and was sold by Poiret in 1930 to actress Elvira Popescu, who lived there from 1938 to 1985. Popescu hired the architect Paul Boyer in 1932 to alter the original design to the contemporary Art Deco Paquebot (steamship) style, converting windows to portholes, and rounding-off terrace corners. The house was listed as an historic landmark in 1984.In 1999 the house, which had once more become dilapidated, was bought by Laurent Brun. Under the auspices of the French National Historic Landmark Commission and the Bâtiments de France, (the two bodies responsible for listed buildings), the Mallet-Stevens exterior and the Popescu/Boyer interior have been restored.Villa Paul Poiret is part of the Journées de Patrimoine, (Heritage Days), scheme in which public and private buildings of historic importance are open to the public on the third weekend in September.

Flins-Les Mureaux was a proposed motorsport race track, to be located in the Seine Valley between Flins-sur-Seine and Les Mureaux (to the northwest of Paris), as a future host for the French Grand Prix, to replace its former home at Magny-Cours. The final Grand Prix on Magny-Cours was held in 2008, and the race's promoter FFSA was looking for an alternative host. There were six different proposals for a new circuit which included a street circuit located near Disneyland Resort Paris , Versailles, Sarcelles, and finally a new track to build in Flins-Les Mureaux, near the Flins Renault Factory. Work on the circuit was to be carried out by British company Apex Circuit Design, with plans submitted by a Parisian Architect to include a 1 km straight and seating for 120,000 people. The 112 million euro project was said to have started work immediately, even though F1 Boss Bernie Ecclestone had not given the full green light for the track to host a Grand Prix in 2011.Plans for the development of the circuit to host Formula One were scrapped on 1 December 2009.
