Foreword Sotheby’s International Realty France – Monaco (and its humble owner) is not only about selling extraordinary estates – it’s about a certain way of life that values refinement and elegance in all things, big or small alike. The first ever “Sotheby’s International Realty France Rallye 2017 – Castles, Cars & Art de Vivre” thus showcased not only some of the most exceptional luxury properties on this planet, but also celebrated beautiful classic cars, excellent food, fine wines, charming hotels, handmade cigars and a healthy dose of timeless style and fashion. In the end, however, this unique adventure turned out to be about the most important thing of all: Friendship. The human bond created by the shared memories of our select group of “Sotheby’s International Realty France – brothers (and sisters) in arms” was, without any doubt, the most enjoyable and lasting result of this most memorable trip.

Alexander V. G. Kraft, LL.M. Chairman & CEO

Chateau De La Croix Des Gardes The Château de la Croix des Gardes is undoubtedly one of most legendary estates on the French Riviera. Sitting in a landscaped, mature park of 10 hectares just a few minutes from the famous shopping-mile La Croisette, the beaches and the harbor, this legendary property has lent its name to one of the most soughtafter quarters of Cannes and is one of the last remaining substantial historic estates in the region. Built in 1919 by a Swiss gentleman, the estate was subsequently acquired by the proprietor of “Burma” jewelry before becoming the property of none other than the owner of “Perrier” mineral water. The Château de la Croix des Gardes was featured as “Villa Sanford” in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 classic movie, “To Catch A Thief”, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, and played host to countless personalities over the years. It was remodeled in Neo-Palladian style in the 1970s by noted architects Alan Gore and André Svetchine. Offering more than 1.000 sq.m. of living space, uninterrupted views from sunrise to sunset and some of the largest preserved grounds of the entire Riviera, this estate represents truly a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity.

Chateau De Castille Located in Provence in Southern France, close to the picturesque medieval town of Uzès, this highly important historic château dates back to the 13th century.

Picasso, a frequent visitor of the castle, had five monumental frescos installed at the château which subsequently have been classified, together with other parts of the castle, as “Historic Monuments” by the French State. The grounds encompass 2 hectares and feature an enchanting historic park with a tree-lined drive, a formal knot garden, a central water feature as well as several historic garden ornaments, outbuildings and a staff house. Château de Castille offers approx. 560 sq.m. of living space, including two drawing rooms, two dining rooms, several kitchens, 7 bedrooms and

BROWN AND WHITE CHECK LINEN BLAZER The true benefits of a linen jacket only become evident in the height of summer, when its temperature-regulating properties and breathable weave are in full force. When linen meets Huntsman’s iconic jacket shape - delicately shaped through the waist with the house’s commanding chest and shoulder - it finds its true calling as a warm weather garment of truly heroic proportions. The cloth, a subtle ecru Prince of Wales check, pairs effortlessly with seasonal shades of white, blue, navy and even tobacco.

Available at therake.com/shop SCIAMAT

SINGLE-BREASTED NAVY HOPSACK BLAZER Sciamat’s exemplary construction is on full display throughout this incredible blazer. Completely hand-made using the same construction as their bespoke product, the blazer features the house’s signature free flowing, near-uncanvassed body, dramatic lapel and beautifully sculptural shoulder. Impossibly heroic to the eye and incomparably comfortable to wear, the Sciamat blazer is a distinctively ennobling garment.

Available at therake.com/shop GRENFELL

GREEN COTTON SHOOTER JACKET The Shooter jacket has remained a fixture for Grenfell since it was first created in the 1940s as an essential for British countryside-wear. This version, created exclusively for The Rake, features a discreetly larger lapel, pivot sleeve jacket arms to allow for greater movement, storm cuffs to protect from wind and water, padded shoulders, belt and added rain protection. To compliment the jacket’s rugged feel, this garment comes pre-laundered.

CARMINA

MAROL

BROWN LEATHER TASSEL LOAFERS A smart loafer fashioned in supple leather is an essential accompaniment to everyday wear. Carmina’s tassel pair is molded from the brand’s narrow Uetam last, allowing for a sleek look, while the half rubber sole in a Goodyear welt mean they’re sturdier than they look - perfect for pairing with dressy tailoring or with something more casual during the summer months.

Available at therake.com/shop CARMINA

BOURBON CORDOVAN LEATHER DOUBLE MONK STRAPS Crafted from Horween shell cordovan leather, which lends these shoes an incomparable richness of hue, you won’t find double monk straps much sharper than Carmina’s. Created from the brand’s semi-pointed Inca last and rendered in rich brown, this pair has a bark-tanned leather sole, silver buckles, cap toe and Goodyear welt for durability.

MAHOGANY BRANDO WOVEN LEATHER LOAFER Although reminiscent of vintage shoes, these Belsire loafers with their distinct leather weave - are decidedly modern. Crafted in Italy, the leather tassel and slight heel elevate this pair into formal territory, while also being an acceptable slipper for more casual occasions. What’s more, the calf lining and double leather sole make these an excessively comfortable wear.

Available at therake.com/shop EMMA WILLIS

PALE BLUE LINEN SHIRT Among the formal tailors and artisans residing on London’s Jermyn St lies Emma Willis, whose shirts are unashamedly casual in approach to cut and fabric, and this lightweight piece is symbolic of what the house does best. Made in England from Italian linen, this shirt is slim in fit with a cutaway collar, flat front, slightly curved hem, finished off with the brand’s signature mother of pearl buttons.

Available at therake.com/shop

DENIM SAFARI SHIRT Although a denim safari shirt sounds rough by nature, the fine craftsmanship and soft Carlo Riva twill used for this Marol piece makes it anything but. Heavy enough to double as a light jacket, the shirt features a spread collar, epaulets, four center-pleat shooting pockets and horn buttons, just to remain true to its name.

Available at therake.com/shop Naked Clothing

ROYAL BLUE LONG SLEEVE STONE WASHED DENIM POLO SHIRT This Naked Clothing shirt has been stone washed for a slightly worn feel, while the cutaway collar, barrel cuffs and supple material keep it looking sharp.
