The municipality of Mézy-sur-Seine (1,789 inhabitants in 1999; 476 ha) is located on the right bank of river Seine. It was known as Mézy until 16 July 1971.
The top designer Paul Poiret (1879-1944) commission in 1924 the functionalist architect Rob Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945) to build a house in Mézy. Achieved in in 1930, the house was modified by Paul Boyer in 1932 on behalf of its next owner, the actress Elvire Popesco (1894-1993, born in Romania as Elvira Popescu). Elvire Popesco was nicknamed "the Boulevard Comtess", because she excelled in boulevard theatre and was married with the Count of Foy.
