Informations sur le fournisseur
<p><strong>Edmond Rostand</strong> (1868-1918), auteur dramatique majeur de la Belle Époque, est célèbre pour ses œuvres telles que <em>Cyrano de Bergerac</em>, <em>L’Aiglon</em>, <em>Chantecler</em>, <em>Les Romanesques</em>, <em>La Samaritaine</em> ou encore <em>Les Musardises</em>.</p>
<p>En 1900, atteint d’une pleurésie, il découvre Cambo-les-Bains pour s’y soigner. Séduit par le climat et les paysages, il <strong>choisit d’y faire construire sa résidence</strong>. Sur les plans de l’architecte Joseph-Albert Tournaire, naît alors la somptueuse Villa Arnaga, dont les travaux s’achèvent en 1906.</p>
<p>Inspirée à la fois du style néo-Basque et des demeures classiques, <strong>Arnaga est bien plus qu’une maison : c’est une œuvre d’art totale. Décorée par de nombreux artistes réputés</strong>, elle s’ouvre sur de magnifiques jardins à la française et à l’anglaise, soigneusement dessinés et entretenus.</p>
<p>Aujourd’hui, Arnaga est un lieu de mémoire dédié à Edmond Rostand, classé monument historique, et l’un des joyaux patrimoniaux de la région.</p>
