    Message from Muriel Mayette-Holtz

    “Here return the summer evenings, when golden light washes the façades in ochre hues. The gentle spirit of the Côte d’Azur invites us to slow down, to wander through the gardens, to discover the treasures of the Villa, to share a picnic on the lawns. Throughout the summer, artists, musicians, actors, and enthusiasts answer our invitation for suspended moments, poised between emotion and wonder. So many evenings that promise us an encounter, an emotion, a memory to carry away with us”.

    - Muriel Mayette-Holtz, Director of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
