150 ANS D’HISTOIRE
–––––––––––––––––––––––––
150 YEARS OF HISTORY...
Dès son arrivée sur la Côte d’Azur à l’âge de 20 ans, le destin de sir John Taylor (18341922) sera à jamais lié à l’essor du tourisme de luxe dans le Sud de la France.
L’absence d’agences immobilières sur la Riviera française, sa connaissance de la région
associée à son imagination, lui permettent de s’imposer comme la personne de confiance
de la noblesse. Le succès est tel qu’à 30 ans, il décide d’ouvrir sa première agence
immobilière à Cannes, offrant également des services bancaires.
Ce succès ne sera jamais démenti. Il s’implante à Monaco, St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat et
St-Tropez et gère un portefeuille foncier exceptionnel pour la noblesse britannique,
française et américaine et la classe politique de l’époque, parmi lesquels le prince de
Galles, le roi Edouard VII, Lord Brougham et William Gladstone.
Des célébrités telles que Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda,
Brigitte Bardot, Charles Aznavour, Eddie Barclay et Gianni Agnelli ont fait appel aux
services de la société.
