The Rendez-vous
The setting for this memorable Chateau Lafite
experience is the magnificent Grand-Hotel du Cap- Ferrat, on France's Mediterranean coast, between Nice and Monaco.
King Leopold II of Belgium once described "the area of the Alpes Maritimes as a paradise on earth". Bathed in the magical light of the French Riviera, Cap-Ferrat remains both as fascinating and beautiful today as it was at the beginning of the 20th century. The luxurious environment will greatly enhance the overall experience of the event. From the outset, the Hotel attracted the international elite who wintered on the French Riviera; princes and dukes of the Russian Imperial family, the European royal houses, lords and barons from England, the great entrepreneurs of finance and industry. The sublime atmosphere attracted many well-known artists such as Charles Boyer, and other illustrious guest such as Somerset Maugham, Charlie Chaplin, Winston Churchill and Aristotle Onassis. The Hotel's legendary swimming instructor, Pierre Gruneberg, has given lessons to Picasso as well as to Paul McCartney's and Frank Sinatra's children. The Grand-Htel du Cap-Ferrat is the winner of many prestigious awards, and in May 2006, the American consumer magazine Travel and Leisure (American Express Company) published its list of hotels offering services of the most outstanding quality around the world. The Grand-Htel du Cap-Ferrat tops the list, ranked N1 in Europe and N 2 worldwide in its category. In addition, the Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards 2006 rated the hotel as one of the best in Europe.
