Arthur Connaught Residences Riviera Villa Villas
EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled along the picturesque shores of Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera, Les Bruyeres stands proudly as the winter residence of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, Prince Arthur of Connaught, and Strathearn. This enchanting summer house, captured in this 1929 photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the serene and elegant lifestyle of the British royalty during their winter retreat. The Duke of Connaught, the third son of Queen Victoria, was a beloved figure in the British monarchy, known for his dedication to public service and his passion for gardening. Les Bruyeres, with its lush gardens and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, provided the perfect setting for the prince to indulge in his hobbies and escape the harsh English winters. The villa's sprawling lawns, adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, stretch out towards the crystal-clear waters, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. The Duke's personal touch is evident in the meticulously designed gardens, which feature a variety of exotic plants and trees, as well as intricate topiary sculptures. As the sun sets over the French Riviera, the Duke and his guests would gather on the terrace of the summer house, sipping champagne and enjoying the tranquil beauty of their surroundings. Les Bruyeres was more than just a royal residence; it was a sanctuary where the Duke could unwind, connect with nature, and create cherished memories with his loved ones. This evocative photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment of luxury and elegance from the golden age of the French Riviera. The Duke of Connaught's summer house at Les Bruyeres remains a testament to the enduring allure of the Côte d'Azur and the timeless appeal of a bygone era.
