NICE

Nice is an open invitation to let yourself go, to lose yourself in the narrow roads of its Old Town, before reaching the famous ‘Promenade des Anglais’ and then discovering the heart of the city, and its cultural and architectural heritage spanning from Antiquity to the Baroque to Edwardian to contemporary times.

Nice boasts some twenty museums and galleries, numerous classified historical monuments and 300 hectares of parks, gardens, communal forests and other “green spaces”.

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat & Beaulieu sur Mer

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat



Originally a fishing village, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is a seaside town with an ideal location, much sought after for its calm air. The Cap, situated to the far south, has given its name to the whole Peninsula, which shelters on one side the harbour of Villefranche and, on the other, the Baie des Fourmis of Beaulieu. For those interested in villas, museums and gardens, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, like the rest of the region, has plenty to offer, often in the most enchanting surroundings.

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild



This property, bequeathed in 1934 by the baroness Ephrussi de Rothschild to the Institute of France, is located in an incomparable site. Situated in the middle of 17 acres of gardens the Villa dominates the skyline. The Villa was built at the beginning of the Century, in the style of an Italian Palace, in order to house the collections obtained by the Baroness de Rothschild. Renaissance furniture from the 18th Century, Flemish tapestries from the 16th Century and an exceptional collection of porcelains and impressionist paintings can be found at the Villa.

Beaulieu-sur-mer

Beaulieu-sur-Mer boasts a privileged location in between Nice and Monaco. A unique location with a perfect combination of sea and mountains. A coast whose shores are bordered by palm trees and a luxurious vegetation, make it without a doubt one of the most beautiful towns of the Cote d’Azur.

Visiting the world-famous Villa Kerylos, a faithful reconstruction of a sumptuous residence in ancient Greece, will leave you with an unforgettable memory.

Villa Kerylos



Conceived and realized by archaeologist Theodore Reinbach, the Villa Kerylos situated in Beaulieu was donated by the owner to the Institute of France in 1928. Faithfully reconstructed as a sumptuous Antique Greek Villa on a site recalling the shores of the Aegean Sea, the Villa Kerylos is surrounded by beautiful gardens that offer marvellous views of the sea.
