Located on the isthmus of Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera, the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, also known as Villa Île-de-France, is a rose-tinted seaside villa built between 1907 and 1912 for Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild, a member of the prominent Rothschild banking family. Designed by French architect Aaron Messiah, the mansion overlooks the Mediterranean Sea from its prominent position on a promontory. The Baroness furnished the villa with antique furniture, Old Master paintings, sculptures, objets d'art, and an extensive collection of rare porcelain. The surrounding gardens have been classified by the Ministry of Culture as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France. Upon her death in 1934, Béatrice de Rothschild bequeathed the villa and its collections to the Académie des Beaux-Arts division of the Institut de France. The villa was classified as a monument historique in 1996 and remains open to the public.
