Les Colombieres

Les Colombières (The Dovecote) is a villa in Menton, in the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera. The gardens of the villa were designed by Ferdinand Bac between 1918 and 1927. Bac also designed modernist furniture for the house and personally painted all the villa's frescos and paintings. The gardens are 7.4 acres (3.0 ha) in size, and have been described as full of "wit, brilliance and imagination" that "inspire both the intellect and the imagination".
