Villa La Pausa is a fabulous old house riviera fashion icon and designer Gabrielle "Coco" Bonheur Chanel, founder of Chanel brand. It was in this house that she kept the rich and famous when customers are away from his Paris studio.
The seven-room house and land near the Italian border and Monaco in southern France, was of Mademoiselle Chanel in 1927 after one of his long-term lover, Hugh Richard Arthur Grosvenor, who built Duke of Westminster, gifted her land.
When asked why she did not marry the Duke, Chanel once said: "There have been several Duchesses of Westminster There is only one Chanel.".
The villa, paneled library, large living room, large staircases and a courtyard garden has been partially reproduced in the Dallas Museum of Art.
Designed by architect Robert Streitz, the concept of stairs and the terrace is said to have been inspired by the orphanage where Mademoiselle Chanel spent his youth. Credited with liberation of women from the constraints of corseted silhouette, Mademoiselle Chanel enjoyed the natural beds of floral aromas of lavender and olive trees around the villa so much that they even created the perfume Chanel No. 28 - La Pausa - in his honor.
And the list of prestigious guests not everything.
In 1953, a few years after the Second World War, in which it was accused of a Nazi Spy, the designer La Pausa sold to the publisher and literary agent Emery Reeves.
Reeves entertained celebrities Riviera in his time at home, including the likes of Greta Garbo, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco, the Duke of Windsor, Aristotle Onassis and Sir Winston Churchill.
Churchill obviously spent some time at the property and commandeered an entire wing of the ground floor for its use. It is assumed, in writing of his history of the English-speaking people were processed at La Pausa.
Now back on the market for an undisclosed price, the broker Knight Frank is marketing the property through its offices in Monaco, London and Paris.Discount Louis Vuitton
