Villa Santo Sospir is located on the road leading to the Cap Ferrat lighthouse, and was decorated by Jean Cocteau. Guided tours of this private building are offered to the public by reservation only.

For a period of 13 years, starting from the summer 1950, Francine Weisweiller would welcome her friend, artist Jean Cocteau, to her villa for six months of the year. Over such a long period, the artist slightly took over the place – he painted frescoes on the walls, pastels on the ceiling and created mosaics in the patio. Cocteau’s spirit is palpable in this exclusively located building, which he nicknamed "the tattooed house".
