THE PROPERTY
A prestigious residence, set in the hills above Cannes
For this new property development on the Côte d’Azur, the developer has entrusted a leading architect with the creation of a prestige residence in the hills above Cannes. The modern façade plays up transparency, incorporating spacious balconies on which to give yourself up to the sun while looking out over the Iles de Lérins or Estérel Massif, depending on the location of the apartment. At the foot of the building, made up of just three floors, the freshness of a Mediterranean garden assuages the summer heat.
The 12 bright apartments in the development, none of which waste even an inch of space, offer a choice of layouts ranging from 2- to 5-rooms. All of them come with vast balconies and top-of-the-range amenities.
ABOUT THE LOCAL AREA
What a spectacle!
The most famous ascent of a staircase in the world of the cinema takes place in Cannes each year during the month of May. The most luxurious, most extravagant houses on the Côte d'Azur rub shoulders here. Its Pierre Canto port, dedicated since its creation to welcoming fabulous ships, receives sumptuous yachts, like a panorama of some of the most beautiful vessels in the world. Palaces, Rolls Royces and casinos, that’s Cannes in Cinemascope, an exceptional site - boasting white sandy beaches, raked as carefully as a Zen garden.
Get a taste of Provence at Forville market
But Cannes also has its southern-French side. One you can discover in the mornings at Forville market, where the owners of some of the city's finest restaurants come to shop. After the market, if the merchants don’t have the time to climb up Rue Saint-Antoine to the old city, be sure you do! And take a few minutes to savour a glass of Château Minuty on one of the lovely terraces here. Later on, bathed in the sweetness of the setting sun, continue your stroll along the famous Croisette to the Palm Beach Casino.
Luxury, calm, and just a touch of Russian
To the east of Cannes, dominating Pointe de la Croisette, lies a district perched in the heights where Picasso resided for a while. From the sumptuous terraces and villas and sublime residences, the view plunges over a fabulous décor, that of the Mediterranean, in which the Iles de Lérins peak out at the world like two emeralds. Memorable parties take place behind the high, shielding walls of villas bursting with extravagance. But the accent here is no longer only Slavic, as it was at the end of the 19th century, when the district became the site of choice for a luxury-seeking Russian population.
Between Avenue du Roi-Albert and Avenue de La Californie, amid timeless tranquillity From this period, some of the most beautiful dwellings on the Côte d'Azur remain, sheltered beneath the pine trees, such as Château Scott, a Medieval-style folly, the Fiesole and Kazbeck villas or even Bagatelle, as luxurious as it is beautiful.
The city’s most prestigious residences are located here too, between Avenue du Roi-Albert and Avenue de La Californie which leads on from it, amid perpetual tranquillity between the city centre, right close by, and the nature all around.
