Entrance of La Californie with sculptures. Today: Pavillon de Flore, 22 Avenue de Coste Belle. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

The sun-drenched entrance to the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. The ornate stone facade, featuring elaborate carvings and wrought-iron balconies, is illuminated by bright sunlight. Abstract metal sculptures flank the steps leading to the main doorway, which is set back under a grand archway. In the gravel driveway before the residence, two vintage cars are parked, their forms casting sharp shadows in the sun.
