Where Dreams Meet the Azure Shores of the French Riviera
Welcome to the French Riviera
A Paradise on Earth
A place so legendary it needs no introduction. The Côte d’Azur has long been synonymous with glamour, its name evoking iconic soirées, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable characters. With landscapes that seem painted from a dream, this extraordinary destination is nothing short of paradise on earth.
Discover Château de la Croix des Gardes—the château of the French Riviera.
In the 19th century, this stunning coastline captured the hearts of wealthy British, Russian, and French aristocrats, who sought refuge from winter along its sun-drenched shores. Over time, quaint fishing villages transformed into dazzling hubs of sophistication. Cannes, Nice, Menton, and Monaco flourished, adorned with magnificent villas, opulent casinos, and lush botanical gardens, giving birth to the incomparable French Riviera lifestyle.
The rise of Croix-des-Gardes Hill
It is just a 10-minute drive from Boulevard de la Croisette, where the gentle hum of the port at dawn gives way to the rhythmic click of cameras, and the soft glow of spring transforms into the dazzling brilliance of the silver screen at night.
Perched above the historic Quartier Anglais, on the eastern side of Cannes, the château overlooks a district shaped by aristocratic visionaries like Lord Henry Brougham, General John Taylor, and the Rothschilds, who established their legacy here in the early 19th century.
A private 25-acre estate lies at the peak of Croix-des-Gardes Hill, once a strategic lookout point guarding the port below. At its heart stands a striking neo-classical château, built in the Florentine style in 1911. It was first restored in 1917 and most recently in 2020, reclaiming its place as one of the most coveted addresses on the French Riviera.
