The Japanese Garden

The Villa Champfleuri is a house with a historic garden in Cannes, France. The first house was built in the 1880s for James Bland.[1] It was purchased by Danaé and Marino Vagliano in 1925, and expanded until 1928.[1] The couple added a garden.[1] The property remained in the Vagliano family until 1961, when their sons sold it to S.C.I Champfleuri, and a new house designed by Abro S. Kandjian and Zaharia was completed in its place in 1964.[1] However, the garden remained intact.[1]

While the house is not listed, the garden has been listed as an official historical monument since 1990.[2][3]
