Villa La Belle Époque is a historic mansion in Nice, within France’s Alpes-Maritimes region. The architecture belongs to the grand residences associated with Nice during the Belle Époque. Construction took place between 1909 and 1911. The building was commissioned for Mr Enos.

Jean-Baptiste Blanchi designed the structure during his early twentieth-century activity in Nice and the surrounding region. Michel de Tarnowski created its gilded decorations. The villa’s form and decoration reflect the tastes and ambitions attached to those grand homes. Its name refers to the Belle Époque, a period spanning the late nineteenth century to the First World War.

That historical connection appears in the building’s decorative choices and architectural flourishes. France recognised the mansion as a national monument in 1992, protecting its historical character during alterations and restoration. This status places the villa within France’s architectural and cultural heritage. The gilded decoration offers a direct, visible link to the era named by the building.
