This exceptional residence symbolises the luxury and voluptuousness of the Belle Époque. It was built in 1867 following plans by Charles Garnier, the architect of both the Paris and Monte Carlo opera houses.

The park surrounding the villa is planted with traditional species of the Mediterranean landscape. At the heart of this conservation area, a public rose garden offers the fragrances and essences of its thousands of varieties, mostly created in Antibes Juan-les-Pins, the capital of roses.
