Villa Casalita: Where 1970s Côte d’Azur Style Meets Modern Luxury

 

There are beautiful villas on the French Riviera, and then there are villas that have a story to tell.

Villa Casalita, tucked away in the prestigious hills of Super Cannes, is one of those rare properties where the past and present have been brought together with remarkable care. With sweeping views across the Bay of Antibes towards Cap d’Antibes, extensive Mediterranean gardens and a private swimming pool, the villa offers the privacy and space of a secluded Riviera retreat while remaining within easy reach of Cannes, Antibes and the beaches of the Côte d’Azur.

But what makes Villa Casalita particularly special is not simply what has been added to the property. It is what has deliberately been preserved.

A Villa That Remembers Its Era

Originally built in the early 1970s, Villa Casalita carries the unmistakable character of that era — a period when the French Riviera was becoming synonymous with sophisticated international living, architecture, design and a certain effortless glamour.

When the owner undertook the renovation, the intention was never to erase that history and turn the villa into another anonymous contemporary luxury property.

Instead, the goal was to preserve the spirit and character of the original villa while bringing its comfort, quality and functionality firmly into the 21st century.

The renovation was completed in 2024, with the interiors developed specifically around the architecture and character of the period. The result is a home that feels considered rather than manufactured: original character and 1970s influences sit comfortably alongside contemporary comforts, carefully selected furnishings and high-quality finishes.

The philosophy behind the renovation was beautifully simple: preserve the spirit of the early seventies while creating a level of quality and specification designed to last for decades to come.

That approach is evident throughout the house.

Rather than stripping away its identity, the villa has been given a new life.

Design With a Sense of Place

Villa Casalita’s interiors were designed by Azur360 and combine iconic Italian and Scandinavian design influences from the period with contemporary pieces, bespoke details and carefully considered lighting. The result is sophisticated without feeling overly formal.

This is a villa designed to be lived in.

The generous 250-square-metre interior provides accommodation for up to 10 guests, with five beautifully designed bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Two separate living rooms, each with an open fireplace, create space for different generations or groups of friends to spread out, relax and enjoy the house at their own pace.

And then there is the outdoors.

 

Set within approximately 3,500 square metres of Mediterranean gardens, Villa Casalita takes full advantage of the Riviera climate. Terraces, balconies and outdoor living spaces provide numerous places to enjoy breakfast in the sunshine, a long lunch with friends, an afternoon around the pool or an evening drink while watching the light change across the Mediterranean.

The spectacular sea view is, of course, one of the property’s defining features.

Looking across the Bay of Antibes towards Cap d’Antibes, the panorama changes throughout the day — from brilliant Mediterranean blue in the morning to the softer colours of the evening.

Your Own Private Riviera Retreat

The villa has been designed with both relaxation and entertaining in mind.

The large swimming pool is accompanied by a dedicated lounge area, while an outdoor kitchen and barbecue make al fresco entertaining wonderfully easy. There are two outdoor dining areas as well as a rooftop sun terrace, giving guests plenty of options for enjoying the Riviera lifestyle outdoors.

Inside, modern conveniences have been discreetly incorporated throughout.

There is air conditioning, Wi-Fi and Smart TVs, a fully equipped high-quality kitchen, generous bathrooms with rain showers, double showers in some bathrooms and a freestanding bathtub. Walk-in wardrobes provide additional comfort, while a garage and two additional parking spaces make the property particularly practical for families and groups travelling by car.

In other words, you get the atmosphere and personality of a distinctive 1970s Riviera villa without having to sacrifice the conveniences expected from a luxury holiday home today.

Super Cannes: Privacy Without Isolation

Location is another major part of Villa Casalita’s appeal.

Super Cannes is one of the most exclusive residential areas surrounding Cannes, known for its hillside villas, privacy, greenery and expansive views across the Mediterranean. It offers something that can be increasingly difficult to find on the Côte d’Azur: space and tranquillity while remaining close to everything.

From Villa Casalita, guests can enjoy the peace of a private hillside retreat while having Cannes, Antibes and Juan-les-Pins within easy reach. The beaches, restaurants, shopping, nightlife and cultural attractions of the Riviera are all accessible, while returning to the villa feels like leaving the activity of the coast behind.

For families, the location offers room to breathe. For groups of friends, there is plenty of space to gather together — and equally plenty of places to disappear for a little quiet time.

It is the kind of property where you can spend the morning at the beach, return for lunch beside the pool, head into Cannes in the afternoon and then come home to watch the sunset over the Mediterranean.

Or, quite honestly, you could simply stay at the villa all day.

A Villa Designed for Memories

The strongest endorsement of Villa Casalita may actually come from the people who have stayed there.

Guests have repeatedly commented on the spectacular views, the pool, the design, the peaceful setting and the quality of the renovation. One guest specifically praised the way the villa had been renovated and furnished with respect for its original architecture, while others have highlighted the combination of the pool, outdoor spaces, location and thoughtful design.

That is ultimately what makes Villa Casalita different.

It isn’t trying to be something it isn’t.

It doesn’t need to disguise its history behind an ultra-modern makeover. Instead, its history has become part of its appeal.

The owner has taken a villa from another era and carefully refreshed it for today’s guests — retaining the character, proportions and spirit that make it distinctive while introducing the comfort, technology and quality expected from a luxury Riviera property.

The result is a home that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.

A little bit of 1970s Côte d’Azur. A little bit of modern Riviera luxury. And a lot of Mediterranean living.

Your French Riviera Escape Awaits

Whether you are planning a family holiday, travelling with a group of friends or simply looking for somewhere exceptional to experience the Côte d’Azur at your own pace, Villa Casalita offers a very different kind of luxury.

It is private without being isolated, stylish without being impersonal and historic without feeling dated.

Most importantly, it gives you the opportunity to experience the French Riviera not simply as a visitor staying in a villa, but from your own private hillside retreat overlooking one of the most beautiful stretches of the Mediterranean.

Villa Casalita is available for holiday rental from approximately €4,000 to €8,500 per week, depending on the period.

A Collaboration Bringing You More

Villa Casalita is available through a collaboration between Perfect Homes and Experience The French Riviera.

By bringing these two agencies together, guests can benefit from the combined local knowledge, experience and services of both teams — providing a more extensive level of support before and during your stay.

For guests travelling to the French Riviera, that means having more than simply a beautiful villa waiting for you.

It means having experienced local professionals available to help make your Riviera experience as seamless, enjoyable and memorable as possible.

Villa Casalita — where the history of the Côte d’Azur meets the way we want to live today.

Super Cannes: The Story Behind One of the Côte d’Azur’s Most Exclusive Hillside Enclaves

 

There are plenty of places around Cannes where you can rent a beautiful villa or purchase a spectacular home, but Super Cannes is something rather different. Sitting high above the city on the hills of La Californie, extending toward the Vallauris side of the hill, Super Cannes combines extraordinary views, large private properties, mature vegetation and a remarkable piece of Riviera history.

It is also one of those places whose name immediately raises a question: why is it called Super Cannes?

The answer has little to do with modern real-estate marketing and everything to do with an ambitious 1920s vision to create an entirely new luxury residential and tourist destination above Cannes.

The Ambitious Idea Behind Super Cannes

The story begins in 1924, when the Société Immobilière de Paris et du Littoral (SIPL) began planning a major development on the heights above Cannes and partly toward Vallauris. The intention was to create a prestigious residential and tourist estate that would take advantage of the extraordinary position overlooking Cannes, the Mediterranean and the surrounding landscape.

 

This was not intended simply to be another collection of villas.

 

The original vision included a luxury hotel, residential properties, an observation tower, restaurants, luxury shops and leisure facilities, all connected to Cannes by infrastructure specifically created for the development. The authorities approved the subdivision in 1926, while roads, water, electricity and other infrastructure were already being developed from 1925.

 

And then there was the funicular.

For a development positioned high on the hill, access was obviously going to be critical. A funicular was constructed to connect the lower part of Cannes with the summit, making it possible for residents and visitors to reach the new resort without having to negotiate the steep hillside roads.

 

The Super-Cannes funicular opened in 1928 and operated for almost four decades, until 1966.

In other words, Super Cannes was conceived as a destination in its own right — somewhere that could offer the glamour and exclusivity of Cannes while being physically removed from the increasingly busy town below.

But Where Did The Name “Super Cannes” Come From?

The name reflected the idea behind the development itself.

The developers were effectively proposing a new, elevated version of Cannes: a prestigious residential and leisure destination above the existing city, with grand views, luxury accommodation and carefully planned infrastructure.

The word Super was therefore not originally describing a particular building or villa. It was associated with the development and estate being created on the heights above Cannes.

It was an ambitious piece of Riviera real-estate branding almost a century before phrases such as “ultra-luxury” and “trophy property” became standard vocabulary in international property marketing.

There is also an interesting geographical wrinkle. Super Cannes is associated with the La Californie/Californie-Pezou hills of Cannes, while parts of the wider development extend into Vallauris. Today, when people talk about Super Cannes, they are generally referring to this elevated residential area rather than a formally separate town or municipality.

The Observatory Was Supposed To Be Part Of The Experience

One of the most fascinating remnants of that original vision is the Observatoire de Super-Cannes, also known as the Observatoire de la Californie.

The first observation tower was built in 1925, initially as a temporary wooden structure while the much larger development was being planned. Its purpose was remarkably straightforward: give prospective visitors and property buyers a spectacular view of the landscape they were being invited to invest in.

That tells you quite a lot about the original concept.

The panorama wasn’t simply a pleasant side effect of building on the hill. The view was part of the product.

The original plans also envisaged a belvedere, tea room and luxury commercial premises around the water tower. Those elements were never fully realised.

The wooden observation tower was eventually replaced in 1953 by the distinctive concrete observatory designed by Cannes architect Georges Sauvan. The Ministry of Culture describes the structure as a remarkable modernist observation tower, positioned at the top of the hill and designed to allow visitors to appreciate the surrounding landscape.

It has since become one of the most recognisable pieces of architectural heritage associated with Super Cannes.

The Grand Hotel That Never Happened

Perhaps the biggest indication of how ambitious the original project was comes from the proposed Grand Hôtel de Super-Cannes.

Plans were drawn up for a luxury hotel of approximately 200 to 300 rooms, positioned at around 232 metres above sea level and served by the funicular. The hotel was intended to help make the enormous investment in roads and infrastructure financially viable.

But the project never came to fruition.

The death of architect Édouard-Jean Niermans in 1928 contributed to the abandonment of the hotel project, while the wider development ran into serious financial difficulties. Roads and infrastructure works were interrupted and parcels were subsequently resold.

The original dream of creating a complete luxury resort on the hill therefore never entirely materialised.

Ironically, that failure helped create much of what makes Super Cannes so interesting today.

Rather than becoming another intensely developed resort, the hills retained a considerable amount of space, vegetation and privacy.

From Grand Development To Exceptional Residential Enclave

Although the original development struggled, villas began appearing on the hillside, including some substantial residences built from the late 1920s onward.

Eventually, Super Cannes evolved into something slightly different from what its developers originally imagined.

Instead of becoming a self-contained mountain resort packed with hotels, restaurants and commercial activity, it became predominantly a low-density residential area, characterised by villas and substantial private properties.

The scale of the original development is considerable. Historical records indicate that the estate eventually incorporated hundreds of residences across the Cannes and Vallauris sides of the area.

And this is precisely where the appeal of Super Cannes lies today.

Why Super Cannes Is So Different From Central Cannes

If you stay in the centre of Cannes, the attraction is obvious.

You have La Croisette, the Palais des Festivals, restaurants, boutiques, beaches and the energy of the city immediately outside your door.

Super Cannes offers almost the opposite experience.

You can be above all of it.

The city, the bay and the Mediterranean become part of the panorama rather than the immediate environment. Depending upon the position of the property, views can extend across Cannes, the Bay of Cannes, the surrounding hills and toward the Esterel massif.

And because the properties are generally set within the hills rather than along the densely developed waterfront, many have something increasingly difficult to find around the Côte d’Azur: space.

Large gardens, swimming pools, terraces, mature trees, private driveways and expansive outdoor living areas are all part of the attraction.

That combination makes Super Cannes particularly interesting for buyers looking for a Riviera home that feels genuinely private while remaining within easy reach of Cannes.

Why Buy In Super Cannes?

For someone considering purchasing property on the Côte d’Azur, Super Cannes occupies an interesting position.

It provides the proximity and international appeal of Cannes without necessarily requiring the compromises associated with buying directly in the city centre.

A well-positioned villa can offer:

• panoramic Mediterranean and Cannes views;

• considerable privacy;

• serenity

• gardens and landscaped grounds;

• swimming pools and large terraces;

• generous interior space;

• parking and private access;

• proximity to Cannes and its amenities;

• relatively quick access to the beaches and La Croisette;

• and an environment that feels substantially quieter than central Cannes.

It is particularly attractive for buyers looking for a second home, family residence or substantial Riviera property rather than simply an apartment that happens to have a sea view.

There is another important consideration.

Super Cannes has a distinctive identity. It is not simply “Cannes with a bigger house.” The hillside setting, history, mature vegetation and panoramic position give it a character that is difficult to reproduce elsewhere.

And For A Holiday Villa?

For a family or group of friends, Super Cannes can be particularly appealing.

Imagine spending the morning around the swimming pool, lunch on a shaded terrace overlooking the Mediterranean and then heading down into Cannes for an afternoon on the beach, shopping along Rue d’Antibes or dinner around the old town.

You have the convenience of Cannes without necessarily having to live in Cannes for the duration of your holiday.

That distinction matters.

A villa in Super Cannes can provide the kind of privacy and outdoor space that is difficult to achieve with a centrally located apartment. For larger families or groups travelling together, a private villa can effectively become the base for the entire holiday rather than simply somewhere to sleep between excursions.

And while the area feels secluded, you are not in the middle of nowhere. Cannes is immediately below, while Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Mougins, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Grasse and the wider Côte d’Azur are all accessible by road.

The Views Are Only Part Of The Story

The obvious selling point of Super Cannes is the panorama.

But for me, that isn’t actually the most interesting thing about the area.

The fascinating part is how the history and geography have combined to produce the neighbourhood that exists today.

The original developers wanted to create a glamorous destination above Cannes. They invested in roads, utilities, a funicular, an observatory and plans for a major hotel and leisure facilities.

The project ultimately failed to become the grand resort originally envisaged.

Yet the hillside remained.

The villas remained.

The views remained.

And over time, Super Cannes developed into one of the more distinctive residential areas surrounding Cannes.

That history is still visible today in the surviving infrastructure and, most famously, in the observatory and remnants of the old funicular system. The City of Cannes itself highlighted the centenary of the funicular’s construction in 2025, noting that the little cars transported tourists and residents up the California hill for approximately four decades.

A Riviera Location With A Sense Of Separation

 

Perhaps that is ultimately what makes Super Cannes so special.

It gives you Cannes without quite feeling like Cannes.

You can have the restaurants, beaches, international events, shopping, yachts and glamour of the city within easy reach, but return to a villa tucked into the hills where the atmosphere is considerably more peaceful.

For a property buyer, that can translate into privacy, outdoor space and spectacular views.

For a holidaymaker, it can mean having a beautiful private villa where everyone can spend time together while still being close enough to enjoy everything Cannes has to offer.

And for anyone interested in the history of the Côte d’Azur, Super Cannes provides something particularly rare: a luxury development whose original 1920s ambitions can still be traced through the landscape nearly a century later.

The name Super Cannes may sound like modern marketing.

In reality, it is a reminder of an extraordinary Riviera experiment — an attempt to build a glamorous new world above Cannes, complete with its own transport, hotel, observation tower and luxury residential estate.

The hotel never arrived.

The resort never quite became what its creators imagined.

But the hillside survived.

And today, that unfinished dream has become one of the most intriguing places around Cannes to own or rent a villa, particularly for those who value privacy, views, space and a genuine connection to the history of the French Riviera.

Forget Summer — Autumn Is the New Season to Travel

 

With autumn now arriving on the Côte d’Azur, we can finally say what many frequent visitors and locals have been quietly discovering for the past few years: the off-season is becoming the new on-season.

And frankly, we think that is very good news.

For years, September was treated as little more than the tail end of summer, with October and November often dismissed as the months when the Riviera begins to shut down. That perception is increasingly outdated. The smart money — and increasingly the luxury traveller — is discovering that autumn may actually be one of the best times of the year to experience the Côte d’Azur.

The crowds begin to thin, the frantic pace of July and August disappears, temperatures become considerably more comfortable, and the region slowly returns to the people who actually live here. Yet the sunshine, restaurants, cafés, beaches, markets, museums, galleries and Mediterranean lifestyle remain very much alive.

And then there is the other rather attractive word: value.

While peak summer demand can send hotel and villa rates soaring, autumn can offer considerably more attractive opportunities for travellers who are willing to move their holiday a few weeks — or even a couple of months. Instead of competing with thousands of visitors for the same restaurant table, beach club, hotel room or villa, you can experience the Riviera at a much more relaxed pace.

In other words, you can still have the sunshine without having to fight your way through the sunshine-seeking masses.

The Luxury Travel Industry Has Noticed

This isn’t simply something we have been observing locally. The luxury travel industry is now seeing the same shift.

According to the latest trend research presented by Virtuoso, fall travel to Europe’s traditionally summer-focused destinations has more than doubled over the past two years. Travellers are increasingly moving away from the July and August peak, choosing September, October and November instead. Virtuoso has even given the trend a wonderfully simple name: “Fall Is the New Summer.”

And it makes sense.

Travellers are becoming less interested in simply ticking destinations off a list during the traditional high season. They want experiences. They want space. They want better service, fewer crowds, more authentic interaction with the destination — and, increasingly, better value for their money.

The Côte d’Azur happens to be almost perfectly designed for this new style of travel.

The Riviera Doesn’t Disappear When Summer Ends

One of the biggest misconceptions about the Côte d’Azur is that everything stops once August is over.

Quite the opposite.

September brings a remarkable calendar of events across Nice and the surrounding towns, including Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat Prestige, the Beaulieu Classic Festival, the Ironman 70.3 World Championships, the Maralpine Sails in Villefranche-sur-Mer and the European Heritage Days. Later in September and throughout October and November, the region continues with exhibitions, festivals, performances and cultural events.

Nice alone has thousands of events throughout the year, while autumn brings its own cultural rhythm. L’Automne de l’Image, for example, runs from September 19 through November 29, bringing photography, film and video events to the city.

So yes, there are fewer people.

But there is certainly no shortage of things to do.

And that is perhaps the greatest attraction of all.

Autumn Is Also Prime Time For Property Hunters

For us, autumn has another particularly interesting advantage.

Many of the visitors who come to the Riviera during the summer aren’t simply here for a holiday. They are also looking.

They may spend July or August exploring different neighbourhoods, villages and towns, visiting properties and getting a first impression of what it might be like to own a home here. Then, once the summer frenzy has disappeared, some return (and we highly recommend) that in September or October to experience the area under completely different circumstances.

And that second visit can be revealing.

What does the neighbourhood feel like when there aren’t thousands of tourists wandering around? What is traffic actually like? How easy is it to get to the supermarket, train station or airport? What restaurants remain open? What does the area feel like on a quiet Tuesday morning rather than a Saturday night in August?

Most importantly, does the location still feel right when the holiday atmosphere has disappeared?

That is something no glossy property brochure can answer.

For anyone seriously considering buying on the Côte d’Azur, experiencing a prospective location outside the peak season can be every bit as important as seeing the property itself.

The New Riviera Luxury Isn’t Necessarily About More

Perhaps the biggest change we are seeing is a change in what people now consider luxury.

Luxury used to mean the biggest suite, the most exclusive beach club, the busiest restaurant and being where everyone else wanted to be.

Increasingly, luxury means something rather different.

It means having space. It means more quiet time. It means more privacy.

It means being able to walk along the waterfront without being shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of other people. It means sitting down for lunch without watching the clock. It means discovering a village, gallery or market without feeling as though you’re part of a human traffic jam.

It means having the time to actually experience a destination rather than simply photograph it.

And perhaps that is why autumn suits the Côte d’Azur so beautifully. I personally find it one of the best times of year.

The light changes. The temperatures become kinder. The pace slows. The locals return. The restaurants become easier to enjoy. The sea is still inviting, and the days can remain gloriously Mediterranean.

Meanwhile, the region’s cultural calendar continues to offer plenty of reasons to get out and explore.

So perhaps we should stop calling it the off-season altogether.

Because if travellers are increasingly choosing September, October and November, if luxury travel specialists are identifying autumn as the new summer, and if destinations like the Côte d’Azur continue to offer sunshine, culture, gastronomy, events and that unmistakable Mediterranean lifestyle, then perhaps the question isn’t “Why come here after summer?”

Perhaps the question is:

Why were you ever coming only in summer?

The Riviera didn’t get less interesting when August ended.

It simply became easier to enjoy.

Free Fetish Brings an Inclusive Night of Fetish to Ramdam Bar

 

Nice’s LGBTQ+ nightlife continues to show just how diverse its community can be, and on Saturday, September 26, 2026, the city’s fetish community will once again have a place to come together as Free Fetish Nice Côte d’Azur takes over Ramdam Bar in the Port district.

The evening runs from 19:30 until 02:00, combining a social aperitif, music, dancing and a fetish-friendly environment. According to the event announcement, the evening will feature DJ R.A.P.H. from 22:00 until 02:00, with a backroom available as part of the venue’s facilities. Entry is free. The event is presented as a social, music and backroom evening rather than simply a conventional club night.

For anyone unfamiliar with the local fetish scene, Free Fetish is particularly interesting because its approach is considerably broader than simply organizing parties. The collective describes itself as a group of friends who came together to create convivial opportunities for people interested in fetish culture, whether they are experienced participants, curious newcomers or simply interested in meeting people in a welcoming environment.

What is Free Fetish?

 

Based in Nice and the Côte d’Azur, Free Fetish describes itself as a fetish collective rather than a traditional commercial club. Its activities include aperitifs, social gatherings, activities and special events, with an emphasis on respect and allowing people to explore their interests at their own pace.

The collective’s definition of fetish is also deliberately broad. Its website references communities and interests including latex, leather, puppy play, military-inspired gear, MX gear and impact play, while emphasizing that people do not need to arrive already equipped or experienced. The group specifically encourages curiosity and conversation, with consent forming an important part of its philosophy.

That makes Free Fetish potentially appealing to someone who is curious about the scene but isn’t quite ready to throw themselves into a highly specialized fetish event. Its own description presents its gatherings as opportunities for conversation, meeting people, activities, drinks and discovering different aspects of fetish culture in a social setting.

And that inclusive approach has become increasingly visible in Nice’s LGBTQ+ calendar. Free Fetish has previously participated in the city’s Pink Parade weekend, including a fetish-themed evening at Ramdam and a fetish contingent in the parade.

Ramdam: More Than Just Another LGBTQ+ Bar

 

The choice of Ramdam Bar is particularly appropriate.

Located at 3 rue Lascaris in Nice’s Port district, Ramdam opened as a distinctive LGBTQIA+ venue combining a bar, music, exhibitions and retail elements. The venue was inaugurated in July 2024 and was created by Robert and Raphaël Bellon, whose background and interest in art helped shape the concept.

Rather than simply being another place to have a drink, Ramdam was conceived as a space where nightlife and art could coexist. The approximately 140-square-metre venue includes a bar, terrace, several lounges and a dedicated gallery, with exhibitions changing over time. It has been described by local media as a particularly unusual concept within the French LGBTQ+ bar scene.

The venue is officially described by the Nice Côte d’Azur tourism authorities as an LGBTQIA+ bar/store/exhibition/music/cruising concept, and it carries the Nice Rainbow Côte d’Azur label. English and Spanish are also listed among the languages spoken.

Ramdam has also developed a reputation for being a place where different parts of Nice’s LGBTQ+ community can overlap. Its programming has included DJs, exhibitions, social gatherings and themed events, making it a natural setting for an organization such as Free Fetish to bring people together.

A Night for the Curious as Well as the Experienced

 

One of the more interesting aspects of Free Fetish’s philosophy is that fetish culture isn’t presented as something that you either completely understand or don’t belong in.

Its own description explicitly invites people who are curious about the world of fetish, even if they have never attended an event before. The emphasis is on meeting people, asking questions, discovering different communities and finding out what interests you — or doesn’t.

That makes the September 26 event something slightly different from a conventional late-night party. The evening begins at 19:30 with an aperitif and social gathering, giving people time to meet and socialize before the music gets underway at 22:00.

And for those who are already familiar with fetish culture, the later part of the evening provides the music and atmosphere that make Ramdam such a natural home for these events.

For Nice’s LGBTQ+ community, the evening offers another example of how the city’s nightlife extends well beyond the traditional gay-bar model. For visitors, newcomers and locals alike, it provides an opportunity to discover another part of the Côte d’Azur’s LGBTQ+ social scene — one built around fetish, friendship, self-expression and, above all, community.
