Palais Bulles, or the Bubble Palace, is a unique residence in Théoule-sur-Mer, near Cannes, France. Designed by Hungarian architect Antti Lovag, this architectural marvel was built between 1975 and 1989 for French industrialist Pierre Bernard and later acquired by fashion designer Pierre Cardin as a holiday home.
Lovag designed the 1,200 square meter house as a playful and joyful space, avoiding straight lines. The estate features a reception hall, panoramic lounge, 500-seat open-air amphitheater, multiple swimming pools, and extensive landscaped grounds. The mansion has 29 rooms, 11 bathrooms, and 10 artist-decorated bedrooms.
Cardin purchased the house after Bernard's death in 1991. Following a five-year renovation by architect Odile Decq completed in 2016, the property was listed for €350 million in 2017 but did not find a buyer. It was available for rent at $33,200 per day.
The Bubble Palace has appeared in pop culture, including Emma Bunton's album artwork and Travis Scott's music video. Now, with a $300 million discount, it is priced at $50 million and still awaits the right buyer.
