The artist Jean-Gabriel Domergue designed the building and its interior design down to the last detail whilst his sculptor wife created the terraced gardens with ponds and waterfalls. Jean-Gabriel Domergue died in 1962 and Odette Maudrange-Domergue left the property to Cannes Town Hall in 1973.
This magical setting is open to visitors for temporary exhibitions and VIP events which tend to take place in summer. Big names from all over the world flock here.
The residence has been listed as a Monument Historique since 1990.
