Bucket List Gardens: The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

This week we are daydreaming our way to the south of France. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
is just one of many impressive gardens.

The pale pink villa was constructed for the Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild between 1905 and 1912. Simultaneously nine themed gardens were created to surround the villa.
