The world of Christian Dior is one of whimsy and romance. At the heart of this story is the Château de La Colle Noire located near Grasse in Pays de Fayence. It is the house where the late designer spent his final years, creating a haven among its Provencal backdrop. Dedicated to the arts, it played host to many of his famed friends from the industry who often visited. They spent their time both in its beautifully restored rooms and in the garden that Christina Dior designed to resemble the home he grew up in “Les Rhumbs”. Here, thousands of plants were grown including the iconic May Roses that feature in his iconic fragrances.
