Supplier information
<p><strong>Edmond Rostand</strong> (1868-1918), a major playwright of the Belle Époque, is famous for his works such as <em>Cyrano de Bergerac</em> , <em>L'Aiglon</em> , <em>Chantecler</em> , <em>Les Romanesques</em> , <em>La Samaritaine</em> and <em>Les Musardises</em> .</p><p> In 1900, suffering from pleurisy, he discovered Cambo-les-Bains to seek treatment. Charmed by the climate and the landscapes, he <strong>chose to build his residence there</strong> . Based on the plans of the architect Joseph-Albert Tournaire, the sumptuous Villa Arnaga was thus created, its construction completed in 1906.</p><p> Inspired by both the Neo-Basque style and classical residences, <strong>Arnaga is much more than a house: it is a complete work of art. Decorated by numerous renowned artists</strong> , it opens onto magnificent French and English gardens, meticulously designed and maintained.</p><p> Today, Arnaga is a memorial site dedicated to Edmond Rostand, classified as a historical monument, and one of the heritage jewels of the region.</p>
