Limoges at Villa Ephrussi de Rotschild France

 

 

By her birth and by her marriage, Madame Beatrice Ephrussi would become one of the most important art collectors of her century. She was the daughter of the Baron Alphonse de Rotschild from whom she inherited the taste for grandiose art collections. In 1883, she married Maurice Ephrussi, a wealthy banker from Russia from a family of art collectors himself.

 

This magnificent villa on 7 acres of land was born in one of the most luxurious and beautiful places on earth. The main garden was created as a ship's  bridge from where she would admire the beautiful Bay des Anges  and remember her trip in the " Ile de France"  Cruise Boat.

 

The Villa is surrounded by nine gardens, decorated with cascades, fountains and passages to give life to an Italian Garden, a Spanish Garden. a French Garden, an Exotic Garden, A Greek Style Garden, a Japanese Garden , a Provencal Garden, un Garden of Roses  and the Sevres Garden.
