La Malmaison stands out with its bright white facade and distinctive pinkish-beige decorative accents, a holdover from its days as the Grand Hotel. Built in eighteen sixty-three, this building once welcomed wealthy winter visitors who arrived in Cannes by train. In the nineteen twenties, the ballroom hosted lavish parties for the international elite. Today, it operates as a municipal art gallery. A young Pablo Picasso once sketched in the gardens here, hoping to charm a socialite who caught his eye during a stay.
