2 NICE GAIRAUT THE FRENCH RIVIERA FACING THE SEA There are these undreamed of places that still harbour hidden, unspoilt treasures. Such is the case with the heights of Gairaut, one of the most sought-after districts of Nice. The Boulevard de Cimiez, lined with elegant mansions and smart apartment buildings, prepares you for the peace and quiet that reigns further up the hill that has come to symbolise an exceptional lifestyle. Sovereigns and aristocrats from all over Europe built their villas here during the Belle Époque. Delight in the authentic luxury of an extraordinary address in this rare and idyllic setting.

3 Idyllic and spectacular setting Just 10 minutes from the city centre and the Promenade des Anglais, the location is definitely Nice but the scent of the garrigue will transport you to another world, with the azure waters of the Bay of Angels at your feet. This highly prestigious estate offers the last opportunity to secure an address unique in its rarity and authenticity. Following on from the Boulevard de Cimiez and located on the heights of Gairaut, this place is acknowledged as one of the finest jewels of the French Riviera. In a neighbourhood of elegant homes, Gairaut is the site of an old threshing floor. A few remains an oratory, a fortified enclosure are still visible among the olive and fruit trees and Aleppo pines growing on the restanques, the dry-stone-walled terraces typical of the region. Away from the main roads, the estate is lulled by the chirping of the crickets, while a light breeze wafts over the kingdom of the cicadas and birds. «What I wanted to do to bring this exceptional site back to life was restore the original beauty of this incredible natural environment, drawing attention to the pinewood and the olive, cypress, lime and almond trees» Vincent Guillermin Landscape architect

5 DOMAINE DE GAIRAUT A RARE GEM 4.6 HECTARES OF GARDENS Landscaped gardens facing the Bay of Angels The estate is designed around an old Roman road, now a pedestrian walkway, which crosses the estate from north to south. In almost 5 hectares of gardens planted with ancient olive, pine and oak trees, numerous Mediterranean tree species grow on the restanques terraces retained by low dry-stone walls. Architectural harmony Surrounded by unique natural beauty, the architecture is designed to blend discreetly with the landscape. Facing the sea, grouped around a central plaza graced with a fountain, five vast detached residences house villa apartments. Their clean lines create a subtle harmony between the contemporary mode of living and the timeless Provençal setting. They are positioned such that all residents enjoy stunning views towards the azure waters of the Mediterranean. The rendered walls are covered with pergolas, the hallmark of this elegant architectural style. «The architecture harmoniously combines fine, natural materials - minerals, wood and glass - in a way that does justice to the nobility of the site» Jean-Paul Gomis Architect

6 DOMAINE DE GAIRAUT BREATHTAKING PANORAMIC VIEWS! As soon as you cross the threshold of your apartment, a single colour catches your attention and lures you irresistibly outside. And there, in this dazzling setting, so close you could almost touch it, the blue sea stretches out before your eyes. The Bay of Angels, spread at your feet, is a sight to behold. From the way the terraces are designed to the transparency of the architecture, everything is planned such that the sea forms the backdrop for a panorama one never tires of contemplating.

7 Exceptional terraces All the apartments open onto magnificent private spaces to relax in the open air, with panoramic views. The south-facing solariums are up to 137 m 2 with magnificent sea views stretching from Cap Ferrat to Antibes. With the glass balustrades, one has an unobstructed view as far as the azure horizon and the brise-soleil provide welcome shade. The apartments on the ground floor extend out into an enormous south-facing private garden bordered by a hedge so you can live close to nature. One of them has a private entrance offering the independence of a private house. The large picture windows open wide until they disappear completely, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.

9 Where blue merges with blue Below the grass terraces, facing the sea, the 25x6m infinity-edge pool invites you to take a refreshing dip at any time. The large poolside relaxation area is the perfect place to sunbathe in private or snooze in the shade, as the mood takes you. The heated swimming pool is in a gated enclosure to ensure the safety of children.

16 DOMAINE DE GAIRAUT THE CÔTE D AZUR A HAVEN OF LUXURY AND PLEASURE Nestling between the Mediterranean and the Alps, with Italy on the doorstep, the Côte d Azur has been drawing fascinated visitors for more than a century. From Cannes to Menton, the attractions of life on the French Riviera are legendary. Palms and pine trees vie for attention along the magnificent beaches, while inland smart villas and private estates cultivate an air of discretion. Elegant and prestigious, Nice is the jewel of the Côte d Azur with its narrow streets typical of the Mediterranean, exceptional climate and unique easygoing way of life. The ultimate destination Place du Casino - Monte Carlo In the last century, English aristocrats liked to spend the winters at their villas in the sun. Enjoying 300 days of sunshine a year, the year-round natural light has always been a source of inspiration for artists, including Renoir, Bonnard, Cézanne, Matisse and Picasso. Still today, with matchless natural and cultural attractions, the Côte d Azur continues to fascinate, appealing to all generations, each claiming their share of this exceptional setting. Key events and festivals The chic, hedonistic Riviera atmosphere reigns along the entire coast, setting the tone of events from the Cannes Film Festival to the Monaco Grand Prix. In the summer, the French Riviera comes alive with numerous festivals, like the International Firework Festival, one of the biggest in the world, as well as hundreds of concerts to satisfy all musical tastes. Summer rolls unhurriedly on, with events to suit everyone: Ramatuelle jazz festival, a circus in Monte Carlo... On the water around Nice An unforgettable landscape With monumental structures such as Fort Carré d Antibes and the Villa Kérylos, architecture enthusiasts will find plenty to admire. Where the Alps come down to the sea, the coast roads cling to the steep slopes dotted with luxury villas. From the Maeght Foundation to the hilltop villages, the colours and aromas of Provence are waiting to be discovered along the steep, narrow roads of the hinterland. In this city of art, a museum lies on every hill: Chagall in Cimiez or the Villa Beau Site in Mont-Boron. «When I realised that I would wake up to this light every morning, I couldn t believe my luck. I decided not to leave Nice, and I have remained here practically my whole life». Henri Matisse
