Bastide du Roy, Heritage monument in Antibes, France.

The Bastide du Roy spans 7 hectares of land with gardens containing 365 olive trees and four water features representing cardinal points.

Henri IV acquired the estate in 1604, receiving it as a gift in 1608 when the 600-square-meter property served agricultural purposes for royal lands.

During the ownership of Count and Countess Polignac, the estate became an intellectual center, hosting renowned figures like Jean Cocteau and Francis Poulenc.

The estate now functions as a private venue for events, with both indoor spaces and outdoor gardens available for ceremonies and receptions.

Musicians Mick and Bianca Jagger recorded their album Exile on Main St at the estate in 1971, sharing time between this location and Villa Nellcôte.
