4Villa Arnaga, Cambo-les-Bains, French Basque Country

Built by playwright Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac, Villa Arnaga presents elegance through cultural identity and storytelling.

The exterior, a grand Basque-style villa with red-and-white timbering, contrasts beautifully with its formal French gardens. Symmetrical parterres, reflecting pools, terraces, and pergolas unfold like theatrical scenes. The rear gardens transition into a more English landscape style, emphasizing freedom and natural curves. Villa Arnaga demonstrates how elegance can be deeply personal—an expression of heritage, artistry, and imagination.
