THE BARONESS AND HER GUESTS
When the baroness Ephrussi de Rothschild held a soirée at the turn of the 20th century, all members of high society on the Riviera would eagerly travel to her luxury villa on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula. For this workshop, two actresses will re-enact the lives of the Baroness Beatrice and her cousin, Duchess Elisabeth de Gramont, recreating the atmosphere of the preparations for a grand reception during the Belle Epoque.
SECRETS OF THE GARDEN
With her epicurean taste, Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild was a great lover of flowers, and would often bring back plants from her travels which were exotic or which had unusual essences. During this workshop, an actor will don the outfit of the Baroness’s Gardener, to guide you through this succession of plant worlds and tell you about all the different species.
CHILDREN MISTERY TRAIL: “Hunt for the stolen painting”
Through a mystery trail, children and adults are invited to discover the masterpieces and works of art that the Baroness collected throughout her life, showing her love of art and travel. From one clue to the next, with the help of an activity book, you can set off on a “hunt for the stolen painting” and discover the extraordinary collection decorating the private salons and apartments of the villa.

In Nice, “the Baie des Anges” (Bay of Angels) is known worldwide … but do you know how the bay got its name ?
According to legends, this name was given to the bay because of the angels came from heaven to accompany Sainte Réparate, the Patron Saint of Nice who arrived on the coast on a boat adrift.
For fishermen, it is a different story! At one time the bay had many large fishes in it with side fins looking like angels wings. When the fishermen saw these winged sea creatures they called them “angels”.
So between legends and traditions … the choice is yours!
