Address: 1676 route de la Corniche
Sponsor: Count Edouard d’Harcourt
Architect: Sylvain-Joseph Ravel
Date: 1889


Sylvain-Joseph Ravel built the Le Castellet residence for the Scottish count Edouard d'Harcourt, near the shore. The count lives there with his wife and several servants.

In 1896, Baron Robert de Rothiacob, lieutenant and president of the Red Cross Committee, acquired it, before bequeathing it in 1922 to Baron Christian de Rothiacob. The latter chaired the Valescure Golf Society for several years.

In the heart of a park planted with Lambert cypresses, maritime pines and Aleppo pines and overlooking the Mediterranean, the residence is made up, in an aristocratic style, of a main building framed by two pavilions, one covered with one attic roof, the other with a pyramidal roof in slate and glazed tiles. The balcony railings are crafted in a Gothic style.

Damaged during the Second World War, the villa was restored and divided into apartments.
