|
|
Villa Eilenroc was designed by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris Opéra, on a rock in the middle of a virtual desert. The area was transformed into a glorious garden through the patience and talent of Jacques Greber, landscape architect and consultant, to create this luxuriant park of 27 acres.
The gardens with all their luxuriant vegetation lie thirty metres above the sea with a view across the bay of the Cap. Planted with traditional Mediterranean species such as marine and parasol pines, Alep and Canary pines, cyprus, oaks, olive trees, arbutus, lavender, thyme, rosemary, eucalyptus, ficus, etc., as well as 1.8 miles of pittosporum hedges, a whole part of the park has been created with plants found in the Antibes area in 1920.
