Cap Ferrat (Cape Ferrat) is situated in
Alpes-Maritimes département, in southeastern France. It is located in the
commune of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
Saint Hospitius lived here as a recluse
during the sixth century. Thus, the cape is sometimes called Cap-Saint-Hospice
or Cap-Saint-Sospis.
Once the domain of King Leopold II of Belgium, Cap
Ferrat is now graced with a number of magnificent villas. The writer W. Somerset
Maugham bought Villa Mauresque (originally built for Leopold's father-confessor)
in 1928 and lived there before and after World War II. Current famous residents
include Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in Villa Maryland and theatrical
composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (Baron Lloyd-Webber).
Cap Ferrat er en halvø øst for Nice. Det er et
område beboet af særdeles velhavende mennesker med en fremragende beliggenhed.
Absolut et besøg værd, især det formidable Villa Rothschild (åben for
offentligheden) samt en lille zoologisk have.
