French property created by architect Le Corbusier has been nominated as a Unesco World Heritage site.

The World Heritage Committee is meeting this week in Seville to decide which areas will make it onto the list.

Most sites have a cultural significance but others include natural areas of beauty that include both countryside and culture.

Already there are 878 properties on the list which are considered to be significant beyond the borders of the country and to the world at large.

The first places to become World Heritage sites when the list was created in 1978 were the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador and the city of Quito.

Since then, areas such as the Palace of Versailles in France and the Angkor Wat temple complex of Cambodia have been added.

Currently, 30 of the listed areas are in danger from threats such as poorly managed tourism, pollution and urban development.

The UK is a member of the National Commission for Unesco and aims to promote mutual understanding, peace and sustainable human development.
