Villa Les Grillons

Address: 7 avenue de l'Ile Verte Saint-Raphaël

Madame Céalis was the widow of Claude Céalis, a famous actor from the Odéon theater in Paris. In 1905, she sold the villa to the sculptor and medalist Oscar Roty, known for his Sower, which once appeared on coins and postage stamps. Oscar Roty gave the villa its final shape by adding the semicircular veranda which opened onto a study. The west facade has retained a Palladian decoration with a small avant-corps forming a terrace, also a Tuscan entablature resting on consoles with volutes decorated with acanthus leaves and a molded cornice.
