Beaulieu-sur-Mer - September 3
The coastal town lives up to it's name. Beau = beautiful, lieu = place. We took the train from Nice to Beaulieu-sur-Mer, then walked along the water's edge, then inland and up a curvy road without sidewalks.
At the top, we arrived at the Villa et Jardin Ephrussi de Rothschild. The girls stopped to rest before going through the gates.
The villa is enormous. 17 acres in fact and we explored almost all of it.
A detail on the wall in the foyer.
A curved wall with a tapestry worth discussing.
What do you think is going on in this picture?
The Grand Salon
Looking for details. These girls know how to go through a museum. They have more fun that we do.
So amazing!
The garden is as impressive as the Villa. Beatrice Rothschild designed the garden over 5 years.
Her inspiration was a cruise ship.
In the exotic garden.
There was also a Japanese garden, a rose garden, a provencale garden, Spanish garden, and I've probably forgotten at least one.
Admiring the view.
From this point, you can see the Mediterranean from three directions.
