An Evening @ Les Az

Built upon the narrowest point of the isthmus of Cap Ferrat Beatrice de Rothschild's villa looks over the bay of Villefranche to the west and over the sea to Italy on the east. The villa, built under the personal supervision of Beatrice herself, houses an eclectic collection of fine art, furniture, porcelain all bequeathed by the Baroness to the French state, on the condition that it was to "keep the essence of a private salon".

In the colonnaded covered patio, a perfect setting for opera, our audience experiences the eighteenth century intimacy of a private musical soirée, surrounded by precious works of art exactly as Beatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild intended.

In the delightful gardens, a marvel in themselves, our guests stroll before the performance begins and during the interval and also where, under a balmy starlight sky, dinner after the performance is served.

Arriving at the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild at any time from 7.30 pm, the Alpes Maritimes plunging into the sea from Beaulieu to Bordighera, are laid out before you.
