And who can blame them – a Cap d’Antibes villa equals privacy, tranquillity and jawdropping coastal settings all on your doorstep, not to mention the proximity of a historic centre and exceptional restaurants - all ready and waiting.

Granted, it has been a long time since Hemingway graced the shores of the French Riviera, but this summer has still shared its celebrity sightings, with none other than the RomCom favourite himself, Hugh Grant, spotted in Antibes visiting the wonderful Mammo restaurant and team of Michelangelo.

It may be difficult to stir on the French Riviera  without a mention of Fitzgerald, the Murphy’s, Picasso or Chanel but the draw of the beautiful location goes beyond the golden age with modern celebrities falling for the Riviera just the same. You don’t have to be a movie star to be under the spell of the Mediterranean, since the appeal is undoubtedly universal.

The reasons for this attraction are too many to list, but the lifestyle, the weather, the opportunity and the rosé may have something to do with it! So just how do you embrace the art of the joie de vivre on the Riviera ?  If you are aspiring to celebrity status or wish to follow in the footsteps of your favourite film star, let us open the doors to some beautiful homes in this exceptional part of the world.
