Villa Ephrussi de Rothchild on Cap Ferrat.

Sue and I went to visit this garden . I had been here a few times...It's a beautiful place, but nothing much interesting flowering. Check out the link. It's a really beautiful place that is way up on a hill that looks out on to the sea on either side. It is a big pink villa with Belle Epoque furniture on display and some ancient artifacts.



The View from the house. 


Looking out on to the garden ( due south) the sea can be seen on the left and on the right as it is on a very narrow peninsula. 

They have dancing fountains to loud classical music, just like The Bellagio. 

interesting hedge option.

Looking West toward Villefranche Harbor.

View from the Gazebo to the house, due north. 

everybody was photographing the house and the fountains. I found this pretty electric pink bag on the shocking green grass and thought it was worthy of a snap.
