Located in Antibes, the Bastide du Roy is an estate dating back to the late 16th century, whose history connects Henri IV, Louis XV, and the fashion designer Jeanne Lanvin. Its main draw today is the garden, laid out in the late 1920s by landscape architect Jean-Claude-Nicolas Forestier, one of his final works and his only one in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Seven hectares hold a series of wooded gardens, with centuries-old olive trees, an open-air theatre, and geometric flower beds, while the main building was restored by architect Louis Süe.
