Le Grand Jardin stands as a rare gem: a secluded haven on the Cote d’Azur that seamlessly blends eco-friendliness, timeless design, and a rich local history. As the sole private property on the island of Sainte Marguerite, it invites guests into a sensory delight. Imagine fragrant citrus trees, serene natural pools, and a vast 14,000m2 botanic garden that beckons for leisurely strolls under the Mediterranean sun.
Arriving by boat to this 13th-century private walled estate, you step into your personal sanctuary. You join a lineage of esteemed residents, including Louis XIV and the 15th-century Dukes of Guise, drawn to the allure of Sainte Marguerite. The island holds tales of intrigue, with whispers of the infamous Man in the Iron Mask, believed to be the brother of Louis XIV, once held captive in its fortress. Legend also weaves a narrative of Napoleon grazing his horses in the garden while cannonballs were prepared for firing at passing ships elsewhere on the island.
Le Grand Jardin is not just a residence; it's a destination for your wedding. This property can accommodate up to 24 guests, offering an intimate setting for the bridal couple, bridal party, and/or guests. Host your rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception amidst the charm, history, and luxury that define this unique island sanctuary.
