Cannes, Le Ruc - 1 Bed

Property Description

Exclusive apartments for sale in Cannes "La Californie", a sought-after district

"Le Ruc" will be the result of the complete restoration to a high standard of a former hotel of the same name located at 15 boulevard de Strasbourg in Cannes, in the Californie district. The district's outstanding location gives it a highly residential feel, while remaining within easy reach of the city centre.

The Californie district, at the eastern end of the town, overlooks the Bay of Cannes. It is the most sought-after district in Cannes, and also the most exclusive. La Californie is nicknamed "the hill of the billionaires".

La Californie is a historic, leafy part of Cannes. It is bursting with beautiful villas and elegant buildings where many celebrities have taken up residence, including the Villa Picasso, also known as the Villa Californie and the birthplace of the work "The Bay of Cannes"; the Villa Domergue, home of the painter and engraver Jean-Gabriel Domergue (cousin of Toulouse-Lautrec); the Villa Rothschild, which now houses the media library and a number of cultural events; the Villa Fiorentina, built in 1880 and boasting magnificent Italian-style gardens; and much more.

Located in the exclusive upmarket area of Californie, above the Baie de Cannes.

With its 5* hotels and palaces such as the Majestic and the Martinez, its 3 kilometres of luxury shops on the Croisette alone, its 30 private beaches, its 3 casinos, its many trendy restaurants and lounge clubs... Cannes definitely lives up to its international reputation as the chic, festive seaside resort of the Côte d'Azur. Like the famous film festival it has been hosting for almost 80 years, the town attracts many tourists. Cannes is prized for its Côte d'Azur quality of life, and its proximity to Monaco and Italy only adds to its appeal.

Beyond its sophisticated appearance, Cannes also has a more authentic face and remains a town on a human scale. The historic Suquet district and its market, the Old Port, the islands of Lérins and Sainte-Marguerite and the Croix-des-Gardes natural forest park make it a very pleasant Mediterranean town to live in, where nature, gastronomy and sport play an important role. Cannes is also very proud of its natural, historical and architectural heritage, and boasts a first-rate artistic and cultural programme.
