André Tardieu, President of the French Council from 1929 to 1932, left his mark on French political life. With an intellectual reputation, he retired from politics in 1934 and settled permanently in his castle in Menton until his death in 1945. Nicknamed "The Miraculous", Tardieu was a moderate republican who distinguished himself by his love of modernity and luxury. In 1928, he chose the Annonciade hill, renowned for its temperate climate, to build his castle, the design of which was entrusted to the famous Art Deco architect Pierre Patout, decorator of the Normandie and Île-de-France ocean liners.

The 18,300 sq ft of living space with 11 bedrooms and 10-hectare estate with stunning landscaped grounds covers an entire hillside in the best microclimate in France and offers 360° panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and mountains.
Château Tardieu also boasts a 45-meter long heated swimming pool, a magnificent 150 m² guest villa at the entrance to the estate, a 100-meter driveway, ample parking, and a private helipad. By helicopter, the villa is just 25 minutes from the world-renowned resort of Saint-Tropez and 45 minutes from the ski resort of Courchevel.
