The Grand Hôtel du Cap Ferrat, near Nice, is one of the 31 French luxury hotels to have obtained the highest official distinction: the Palace designation. In the heart of a 7-hectare green setting facing the Big Blue, it has embodied the chic, luxury, and glamour of the Côte d'Azur since its creation in 1908. A legendary place, which has attracted the biggest names in the world for over a century: Winston Churchill and Elizabeth Taylor were regulars there, and Charlie Chaplin's children learned to swim in its legendary 33-meter-long swimming pool, filled with seawater heated to 28°. More than 300 employees work day and night, with an obsession for detail and a constant search for perfection. Throughout this year like no other, the Grands Reportages cameras followed the daily lives of five figures at the hotel, such as Michelin-starred chef Yoric Tièche. A renowned culinary journalist comes to taste his cuisine, but not enough to shake his legendary composure. You must not put yourself under pressure, it's the best way to mess up! . For Manal, the stakes are high: she has just taken over the management of the establishment's chic bistro. Overflowing with energy, her search for perfection shakes up her teams. When you work in a palace, you have to give your all, without counting the cost! . And then there are the little hands without whom the hotel would be nothing. There's Simon, the valet, who spends his days driving Rolls or Ferraris. without ever shifting into second gear! Ilda, head of the lingerie, who irons dresses costing several thousand euros. Anthony, the room service waiter, sometimes collects tips of 500 euros. These are notes you don't forget! , he admits. Fabrice and Alexandra are on the other side of the mirror: stars in their eyes, they came to celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary. For their porcelain wedding anniversary, the hotel upgraded them to a suite with a private pool, decorated for the occasion in a slightly kitsch but ultra romantic style. It's beyond all our hopes and what we imagined: it's extraordinary! . Some customers, although very wealthy, do not hesitate to negotiate to lower the bill! We spent a year behind the scenes at this legendary hotel. And this 2020 season, for sure, will remain forever, engraved in the memory of its employees. Director Girodon Sébastien
