Between Nice and Cannes lies one of the world’s most beautiful palaces. Standing on more that twenty acres along the coast, the Eden-Roc is a legendary estate where time stands still behind the rustle of Alep Pines. This elegant home, with its Napolean III style, has been a refuge since 1869, first to artists and writers, then to the great European aristocracy before receiving celebrities, mostly in the springtime during the Cannes Film Festival.

In a tribute to Côte d Azur, François Simon evokes the uniqueness of this discreet place, which for the first time opens its doors for a publication, offering an elegant look at never-before-seen photographs.
