About this activity

This excursion is unique because it merges three intimate and exclusive narratives into a single journey, offering a deep understanding of the very identity of the French Riviera.

A Complete Sensory Experience: The excursion engages all your senses to create an indelible memory:

Sight: Breathtaking panoramas from the Corniche, manifesto gardens, princely salons.

Smell: The olfactory education at Fragonard is a unique interlude, linking the art of perfume to the very landscape of the Riviera.

Touch (of History): Grasping the weight of history by walking in the footsteps of the Princes in their State Apartments.

In summary, its uniqueness lies in this alchemy: it is not a catalog of tourist sites, but a coherent and sensory narrative about the forces (money, art, power) that created the myth of the Riviera. You come away with a true key to understanding the region, far beyond the clichés.

Itinerary

Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild

1 h 30 min Admission not included

Immersion in a Pink Palace: Perched on the narrow isthmus of Cap Ferrat, this villa is the embodiment of Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild's extravagant dream.

A Treasure Trove of Art: Inside, discover her refined collection: 18th-century furniture, Gobelins tapestries, Sèvres porcelain, and works by masters such as Fragonard. Each room tells the story of the erudition and impeccable taste of a passionate woman.

The Nine Gardens: Take a stroll through what is considered his “total work of art.” A symphony of colors and scents, the themed gardens (Spanish, Florentine, Japanese, exotic, etc.) are arranged around a temple of love, with a panoramic view of Villefranche Bay and Beaulieu as a backdrop. A true botanical world tour.
