Le Capon Originally built by the famous French film director, actor and writer, Gerard Oury, whose wife was the French actress, Michele Morgan, there is a rich and colourful history to the villa. 2 3
Automated entrance gates with a video intercom system withdraw to entice visitors gently down the sweeping drive through the parkland, under a canopy of umbrella pines. Heralded by an orchestra of crickets and wildlife, the senses are stirred by the natural perfume of the flora and fauna which together blend to bring a sense of both piece, tranquility and anticipation as the drive approaches the villa. 4 5

Les Oliviers has all the characteristics one could desire of a villa in St Tropez. A property to be enjoyed throughout the seasons and which notably, faces due south over the sparkling bay of Pampelonne with its famous crescent shaped beach. As such, it is a villa where you can enjoy the sun on the principal elevation throughout the year, not just in the summer months. Substantially and meticulously restored over several years, the villa is a hybrid of a Provençal dream, with elegant contemporary features, generous, sought after open plan accommodation and a heavy brush stroke of considerable style and character. 8 9

Upon entering the villa, there is an immediate, bright and calming feel, with a sense of space, depth and natural light enhanced by a floor to ceiling picture window, framing the view over the gardens, swimming pool and out to the Mediterranean Sea. 12 13

Living Accommodation The principal reception room is open plan, with a sculptured ceiling care of famous interior designer Francois Catroux, and huge sliding glass, pocket French doors leading to the children s garden facing north, which remains cool in the summer afternoons and out onto the loggia and the gardens and parkland on the sunny southern facade. A perfect example of the highly sought after, modern inside-outside space so well suited to the heat of the summer months. It gives both the flexibility for either intimate family use or grand entertaining, encouraging a free flowing energy and yet and intimate feeling to the heart of the villa. 16 17

The dining room is part separated from the living room by a floating chimney breast, giving enough separation to create a different feel for the dining area, whilst also remaining a connected part of this wonderful reception space. 20 21
An incredible master suite commands the entire first floor, with an open dressing room, study and sitting room flowing through to a large bedroom and bathroom suite. 22 23
Floor to ceiling pocket glass doors open onto a private terrace with awnings for enjoying the views over the gardens and swimming pool and over the bay of Pampelonne. 24 25
Six further generous bedroom suites all enjoy large bathrooms and French doors opening out onto the gardens. 26 27

Nestled within some 4 hectares of exceptionally private, manicured, landscaped gardens, grounds and natural parkland there is plenty of space for children to play on the lawns, for parties, private concerts and entertaining and for quiet reflective walks beneath the umbrella pines. 32 33
The loggia along the southern façade, provides an ideal outside sitting and dining area, whilst also acting as a natural conduit between the gardens and the villa. 34 35
Positioned just away from the villa, the large swimming pool and stone terraced surround has a pretty pool house with shuttered windows, which has a shower and changing room on one side and a gym on the other. Ideally equipped with an outdoor kitchen, the swimming pool area is perfect for parties, barbeque lunches or for spending long summer afternoons sun worshipping and relaxing. 36 37
Flood-lit tennis court 38 39
A useful addition to the grounds is a helipad, positioned away from the villa to allow safe transportation by helicopter to beat the summer traffic. 40 41
Beautiful during the day, the villa transforms through the changing, soft dappled light as the sun sets, giving a different feel to the accommodation inside and outside where spotlights further accent the landscaped gardens and trees. 42 43
The villa is within easy reach of the various beaches and beach clubs, as well as the pretty town of St Tropez, with its harbour and variety of shops, restaurants and attractions. 44 45
