Saved
the best for last! Well I still think my day in Cannes was my
favorite, but my day at Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild was a close second,
if not a tie. I’d heard the name Rothschild before but was not all that
familiar with the family—just knew the name sounded rich and if they had a
palace that kindly allowed commoners to visit, I had to do see it.
(pink on the outside, pink on the inside)
We
started the day with lunch, drinks and desert in the dining room. The menu is
somewhat limited if I remember correctly but I wouldn’t pass it up. I mean how
often do you get to say you dined in a palace?!
(ladies who lunch)
(the could have given me 1 more shrimp)
After
lunch we took our time exploring each and every room of the opulent mansion
learning the history with audio/headphones they provided us. Beware, there’s no
air in the mansion, only in the dining area and I about died, but it was fun
:)
After
the hot, sweaty indoor tour we went outside for some hot, sweaty outdoor fun
where we took a ton of pics of course and explored the 9 gardens on the
property. Actually, we only found 2 of the 9 :-/ Don’t tell anyone, but I can’t
imagine it would have gotten any more beautiful then what we saw!
With all that said, I highly, highly recommend a visit to Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.

Agreed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mansion [despite no air] and photography. So much intricate detail within everything from the landscape [the gardens and waterfalls are what I imagine Heaven looks like] to the architecture to paintings to the images on the chairs.
Love this post.
Absolutely fabulous!! Descriptions were clear and detailed!
