Perched atop the Croix des Gardes hill within the historic English Quarter, the Ch\u00e2teau de la Croix des Gardes reigns over the entire Bay of Cannes, a majestic structure built in 1919 for Swiss industrialist Paul Girod in a scenic appearance reminiscent of Florentine villas, standing as the only castle directly overlooking the bay. This spectacular scenery was immortalized in 1955 when Alfred Hitchcock selected it as the iconic backdrop for his film “To Catch a Thief”. <\/p>\n
The estate\u2019s parkland descends gracefully toward the sea in a series of terraces, winding through formal gardens, ancient stone basins, and fragrant pine woods, offering a splendid palette of colors where the gaze stretches to the L\u00e9rins Islands, the Est\u00e9rel massif, and, on the clearest of days, the distant peaks of the Alps. It provides a timeless fairy tale setting for a ceremony at sunset or an exclusive aperitif suspended high above the vibrant Croisette. <\/p>\n
The grand ballroom provides an elegant stage for the wedding dinner and dancing, while the most intimate guests may reside within the estate\u2019s refined rooms, complete with a panoramic infinity pool and private terraces. Hosting only a limited number of exclusive events each year and collaborating with its own dedicated catering service, we work alongside you to curate a bespoke celebration program tailored to the castle\u2019s unique heritage and prestigious spaces. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
