Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild: Entry Ticket

About this experience

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild Tickets Perched on a promontory overlooking the Mediterranean in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild stands as one of the French Riviera's most refined cultural attractions. This pink palace, built by Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild in the early 1900s, showcases her extraordinary collection of 18th-century art and furnishings alongside nine themed gardens that cascade down to the sea. Inside the villa, you'll find priceless Sèvres porcelain, works by Fragonard and Boucher, and opulent salons that transport you to the Belle Époque. The baroness's private chapel, guest rooms, and drawing rooms reveal her passion for collecting rare antiques and her impeccable taste for luxury. Each room tells the story of aristocratic life on the Côte d'Azur during its golden age. The villa's nine gardens are equally spectacular, each designed in a different style from Florentine elegance to Japanese minimalism. From April to October, catch the musical fountain performances where water dances to classical music against the backdrop of the Mediterranean.
