CAP D'ANTIBES, Elegance of the Roaring Twenties

Perspective

07/08/2025

At the tip of the French Riviera, nestled between Nice and Cannes, lies a peninsula fringed with pines, palm trees, and an air of quiet mystery: Cap d’Antibes. Once wild and untamed, it began to captivate the British aristocracy in the late 19th century—drawn by its light and serenity—who built elegant villas and lush exotic gardens. Eucalyptus, palm trees, and bougainvillea still thrive today, a living legacy of those early residents. In the 1920s, the Cap became a haven for artists and socialites, attracting the likes of Fitzgerald, Picasso, and Hemingway. The Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc remains an enduring symbol of this discreet, glamorous past. Today, Cap d’Antibes draws an international clientele in search of subtle, singular luxury— a place where every home tells a story.
