Episode of Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothchild
Tomo & Chouchou went to the Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothchild because its admission fee was included in the French Riviera Pass.
The Villa of Rothchild is in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in Southern France.
It's located just between Monaco and Nice.
We went to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat from Nice by bus 81. We got off the "Passable" bus stop and walked to the main entrance of the Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothchild. There were security guards at the main entrance of the villa of Rothchild. There were many security guards inside the villa too. It was a high security level. They even asked us to present our passports to rent audio guides.
First we needed to walk up the slope from the main entrance until the house (villa). On the way to go up this slope, we could see the breathtaking beautiful view. After finish climbing up the slope, we found the pink house of Rothchild.
It was like a castle.
There was a big garden beside the villa. We visited the garden before entering a house.
The weather in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat along French Riviera [Côte d'Azur] is hot. So there were tropical plants such as cactus in the garden.
From the garden, we could see the pink house of Rothchild, mounains behind the house, and the fountain in front of the house. It was super beautiful and the best view spot for us. The view from the balcony of the house was very luxury scenery.
So many collections of porcelains and antique furniture were displayed inside the house (villa). There were also some Chinese potteries and Chinese traditional costumes there. Unfortunately we couldn't see everything because it was the closing time.
According to the audio guide, the Villa of Rothchild was NOT attacked during the world war. This villa was constructed by Charlotte Béatrice de Rothschild. She got married when she was young. It was a marriage of convenience. But later, she had been a widow for a long time. Béatrice de Rothschild had a flashy luxury life like Marie Antoinette. When you see her collections inside the villa or her gardens, we could clearly understand how luxury her life was.
The villa of Rothchild was like a hideout. Also the villa and garden of Rothchild monopolize the wonderful scenery of the Mediterranean and the land of the peninsula. We could feel rich there. We enjoyed the extraordinary world.
