In the enchanting and picturesque framework of the Vieux Longueuil, you will find the Apartment Au 200 Cèdres. It is part of a house built in 1968, a perfect replica of the House of Cuba (Expo 67):

"Cuba's pavilion consisted of a series of geometrical white wooden cubes, bordered by marine-blue steel frames. While the tumbled juxtaposition reminded visitors of Mondrian's geometric canvases, the architect said that his design evolved from a series of containers, standardized units that were an offshoot of Cuban experiments in prefabricated housing. Cuba's pavilion resembled a Cubist painting, but was really an experiment in simple inexpensive construction"
Jeffrey Stanton 1997.

His pretty balcony has a view on a courtyard interior with a swimming pool, surrounded by a beautiful hedge of cedars winner of "Contest of the Houses and Balconies Bloom". In spring and summer, the garden produces a variety of perfumes and colors.
