About Les Colombieres

Les Colombieres is an estate in Menton, in the Alpes-Maritimes office on the French Riviera. The patio nurseries of the manor were planned by Ferdinand Bac somewhere in the range of 1918 and 1927. Bac additionally structured pioneer furniture for the house and by and by painted all the estate's frescos and paintings. The greenery enclosures are 7.4 sections of land 3.0 ha in size, and have been depicted as brimming with "mind, splendor and creative energy" that "rouse both the insightfulness and the imagination".

Bac's companions Emile and Caroline Ladan-Bockairy purchased the Domaine des Colombieres in 1918; preceding this, it was the property of the logician Alfred Jules Emile Fouillee. The Ladan-Bockairys welcomed Bac to come to live with them and to reconstruct and grow the structure. His structure for the house drew on his recollections from visits to various Mediterranean countries. Bac arranged a greenhouse around the house with structures, corridors, scaffolds, and mystery gardens.

There were calm, encased spaces and open territories of wild plants with wide vistas. The greenhouses reference established writing, for example, Homer's Odyssey, including Nausicaa's wellspring, a patio nursery named for Ulysses, and a head of Medusa. At the focal point of a road of substantial olive containers is a 600-year Caroub tree, said to have the most seasoned caroub tree in France. Twelve little structures manage guests through the garden. The site is situated on a slope over Menton's harbor and noted for its fine perspectives on the Bay of Menton and Menton's old city.
