Cap d'Antibes villas and their secrets
Nathalie Aguado lifts the veil on a haven of greenery that is both legendary and fascinating. Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the magnificent villas of Cap d'Antibes reveal their secrets one by one in this beautifully documented book. Dotted with residences dating back to the late 19th century, and villas emblematic of the Roaring Twenties or boasting an architecture reminiscent of ocean liners, Cap d'Antibes still exudes an unmistakable aristocratic and cosmopolitan chic. Once owned by Antibes sea captains, wealthy winter residents or American summer holidaymakers, these abodes harbour countless anecdotes that have marked the history of Cap d'Antibes between 1850 and 1950, and tell the story of its glamourous, and sometimes scandalous facets which still hover above the Cap today.
Nathalie Aguado is a historian and a biographer, passionate about the history of Cap d'Antibes, her adopted neighbourhood.She is also the author of family biographies.
