84 guests, headed by H.S.H Prince Albert of Monaco and Patricia O'Brien, Irish Ambassador to France and Monaco, gathered to celebrate the 90th anniversary of E-1027.
A charity auction raised over 100 000€ towards the restoration fund's last tranche for the winter of 2019/20, including a copy of Vera Klute's bust of Eileen Gray, acquired by H.S.H Prince Albert, to be placed once again in front of the Villa.
In July 2016, after a lengthy process of consultation, the World Heritage Committee finally decided to inscribe the Architectural Work of Le Corbusier on the List of World Heritage Sites.
Inscription on the prestigious World Heritage List is testimony to Le Corbusier's ground-breaking achievement and contribution to the development of modern architecture and will ensure that his oeuvre, at Roquebrune and elsewhere, will be preserved and handed down to future generations. The Cabanon has the singular distinction of being the only World Heritage site in the whole Alpes Maritimes department.
On 7 September 2016 a plaque was unveiled paying tribute to Eileen Gray at her former home at 21 rue Bonaparte in the sixth arrondissement, Paris. The ceremony took place in the presence of H.E Mrs Geraldine Byrne Nason and representatives of the Paris municipal council
