20 Avenue Louis Bordes. NO, 10 AVENUE LOUIS BORDES!!!
Just when you're on your way to leave Villefranche sur Mer for Cap Ferrat (just when you've passed the railway) - turn right downhill at the traffic light!

As far as I remember someone posted here a link to Google Maps with the exact location. I don't remember it unfortunately, but if you search you should find it on this board.

Thanks for the great video. Villefranche is a beautiful town, as the video shows, and worth spending some time at, looking across to Nellcote. I loved it there.

Nice one Django. Villefranche is a beautiful place... hell, the whole AREA kicks ass actually. Just in case you wanna check out the real estate there take a look at this site (excellent one with great photo's and some video tours - great for Fantasies !!!)

BTW, the under noticed film "THE GOOD THIEF", with a drugged out NICK NOLTE, was shot around here somewhere, has some good atmosphere....

I have lived in Cap Ferrat for one year in 1996 actually, went several times to see the gate at Nellcote always there were some fans checking it out. It is an amazing beautiful place, wonder who owns it now or who lives there, maybe a very rich Stones fan...:>)
there was some interview with Anita Pallenberg where she says the place was turned into a parking lot after they left....she was joking I guess

Thanks for showing us! It would make a great Stones museum, I bet. Wonder if that basement has ever had the ventilation issues worked out?!

It's okay if you have a beer can in your hand. It looks like Alex is still cool.

Given Elliot's right, one ought to assume Thommie might edit his post.
Even if I figure its findable anyhow?

Okay, Elliott, if you say so. Edit!

...ummm, not sure that's enough Lukester. I heard it was cool if you have a beer can in your hand AND you're leaning against a 1969 medium blue Metallic Dodge Charger with 5 spoke chrome rims and dual exhaust with chrome tail pipes.... that's always been the word on the street around here my friend....

Nice pics, Jacopo. I was there July 2007 but just outside the gates.

How the hell did you get in to the garden?
Did it seem to be anyone living there?

Last time I was in Villefranche was a couple of months ago at the end of May, when myself and BarRoomQueen were having a holiday in that part of the World. We took a walk along the beach and up the steps to check out Nellcote to find that the builders/decorators were there. According to one of the decorators we saw walking in through the gates the house has recently changed hands and the new owners are having work done. No idea who the new owners are though.

This was our first day. Comming from Düsseldorf Airport, direct ride to Nellcote.
We were late, because the fligt was delayed. We had no time for change clothes, we had to arrive the camping site by daylight.

Here a picture, next day in racing clothes for the rest of this tour across france, monaco & italy !
