Sommaire

Built into the side of the Esterel Massif mountain range, Palais Bulles is so large its spherical, ochre-coloured modules are visible from the road. Listed as a historical monument, this spaceship-like cave dwelling is perched between the bright blue sky and the banks of the Mediterranean Sea. Architect Antti Lovag designed the home to reflect the sensuality of the female body.

The villa, with its curving shapes, blends seamlessly into its environment and sprawls harmoniously across 1200 m². It includes a panoramic living room and ten original suites decorated by Pierre Cardin and modern artists with custom-made furniture. Surrounded by luxurious greenery, the villa’s pool, waterfall complex, and garden cover 8500 m².
