French Riviera Things To Do

Built in the early 20th century for Baroness Ephrussi, a wealthy woman with an insatiable taste for the arts, this palatial home is now a museum for her eclectic collection of tapestries, china, and 18th-century furniture and paintings. Outside, there are nine gorgeous gardens.

A quartet of marble towers connected by glass passageways house a collection of French and American art that spans from the ’60s to the present.

A combination of a remarkable natural setting and outstanding works of art (think Kandinksy, Chagall, Braque, and Miró) draw tourists to this avant-garde building in the woods.
