Sailing through a sculpture - Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Could this be your cruise ship?

You have great views from the Villa and Gardens of Ephrussi de Rothschild in St. Jean Cap Ferrat. I took this photo of a cruise ship coming into St. Jean from the gardens. The ship floated into the center of a sculpture as I watched. Great timing!

View from the Rothschild Gardens

It's hard to decide whether to look at the gorgeous gardens or the stunning scenery surrounding them. After you go through the Villa, you are free to wander the gardens, enjoy the new musical fountain show or have a lovely lunch in the tea room . . . all with great views!

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

St. Jean Cap Ferrat is a cruise ship stop and if you have the time, it is well worth the effort to go up the hill and visit the Rothschild Villa and Gardens. We drive so I can't give any transportation tips, but type NiceLife into the VT Search Window above and check NiceLife's Travel Pages on St. Jean in Provence Cote d'Azur to find his Transportation Tips . . . and all his other great Tips on the area.

Une petite page très chic! Les fontaines doivent être bien rafraichissantes l'été. Meilleurs voeux à vous.
