Prince Aga Khan and the Begum with one of the doves at Villa Yakymour, Le Cannet 1956. Aga Khan chose the name of the mansion. It stands for the name of the Begum (Yaki) and for love (amour).

Prince Aga Khan, in a light-colored suit and sun hat, is seated in a wheelchair on the manicured lawn of Villa Yakymour in Le Cannet, 1956. A pair of golf clubs lean against his chair. The Begum sits on the grass beside him, and between them is one of their doves. The Prince named the mansion himself, combining the Begum’s name, Yaki, with ‘amour,’ the French word for love. The building’s white, arched facade forms the backdrop.
