Borme-les-Mimosas is a very special place for the Grand Ducal family. They have a home in nearby Cabasson where they have spent many happy holidays. The villa was first bought for the family by Grand Duchess Charlotte, Alexandra’s great-grandmother.

The area is also home to an official retreat of the President of France.

Princess Alexandra and Nicolas Bagory announced their engagement in November 2022.
