The route

Three jewels, one extraordinary day

Discover the three most iconic villas of the Riviera, chosen for their beauty, history and the magic of their setting.

1 Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

Baroness Béatrice's pink palace. A Belle Époque villa perched on a promontory between two seas, surrounded by nine themed gardens with intoxicating fragrances. Salons draped in precious silks, Sèvres porcelain, 360° views over the bay — every detail is a hymn to refinement.

  • 9 themed gardens
  • Belle Époque architecture
  • Panoramic sea view
2 Villa Kérylos
Beaulieu-sur-Mer

Villa Kérylos

A villa unlike any other in the world: the dreamed reconstruction of an ancient Greek residence from the 2nd century BC, set directly on the rock with its feet in the sea. Mosaics, frescoes, rare marbles and furniture inspired by Antiquity — a total immersion in the Greece of Théodore Reinach.

  • Ancient Greek reconstruction
  • Absolute seafront
  • Exceptional mosaics
3 Musée Renoir – Cagnes-sur-Mer
Cagnes-sur-Mer

Renoir Museum – Villa Les Collettes

The last home of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, nestled in a century-old olive grove facing the bay. It was here that the master painted his final masterpieces, despite his illness. Intact studio, palette laid out, wheelchair still in place — a rare emotion at the heart of an enchanting garden of olive and orange trees.

  • Renoir's studio
  • Century-old olive grove
  • Original works & sculptures
