A castle of legends, Cannes

The Château de la Croix-des-Gardes is one of the legendary properties located on the French Riviera. “This 10-ha estate was built at an elevation of 213 meters with an obstructed view over the Alps mountain and the Mediterranean Sea, including
the Lérins Islands, says Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty agency.” Erected circa 1920, the house was entirely renovated by UK architect Alan Gore. It now provides 1,200 sq m of living space and has 24 rooms and 20 bedrooms. The property also boasts two guest houses, two keeper’s houses and a 33m-long infinity swimming pool. It is said that the domain was home to one of the first parties of the Cannes International Film Festival. Alain Resnais’ Last Year At Marienbad was shot there in 1961. Minutes away from Cannes’ port and the Palais, this jewel sits in a quiet and luxury environment.
