The area belonged to the Kingdom of Sardinia until 1860 when it became part of France. After that, it developed from a small fishing community into an exclusive residential area for wealthy families.
The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild displays art collections and furnishings from different periods arranged throughout its rooms. Visitors can explore the elegant interiors and see European craftsmanship spanning several centuries.
