Where
Since the birth of the La Turbie-sur-Mer and the city of Cap d'Ail, at the beginning of the last century, the "international gentry" has taken up residence in sumptuous Belle Epoque buildings, followed by many personalities from the world of Arts and Letters. Among the long list we can cite: Guillaume Apollinaire, Colette, Sacha Guitry, Greta Garbo, Winston Churchill ... Thus in 1942 André Malraux moved to the "Villa Les Camélias", which has now become a private museum.
