Baroness Ephrussi de Rothchild's gardens are in truly the most perfect setting on the med.

Seven seperately themed gardens allow you to wander away from the Villa into a new pleasure at each turn. Here a Japanese garden, there a spanish garden, alongside a full French Provencale garden..

It is said that Beatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild considered the Villa Ile de France - straddling the Cap - as though an ocean liner. Some twenty gardeners were employed and worked in full sailors uniforms, complete with red pompoms, to bring this place to perfection.

After her divorce she left, never to return.

Sit a while and capture this piece of paradise in your minds eye, so you can revisit it at will.

Address: Villa Ephrussi, Cap Ferat
