This historical beach hotel was formerly La Villa Eugenie, the
summer residence of Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie. The Emperor

families ever since. Its luxurious decor remains faithful to the
Second Empire and the antiques are lovingly restored by the hotel's
craftsmen. This hotel offers breathtaking views and comprises a
