Culture edit

Villeneuve-Loubet is the birthplace of the famous 19th century provençal chef, restaurateur, and culinary writer Auguste Escoffier, the author of the Guide Culinaire and the founder of French haute cuisine. Villeneuve-Loubet was also, from 1920 onwards, the home of Maréchal Philippe Pétain (1856–1951), the "Hero of Verdun" in World War I and chief of state of the Nazi-collaborationist État Français, commonly known as Vichy France, in World War II.

The writer and historian Jules Bertaut (1877–1959) died in Villeneuve-Loubet. The sculptor Richard Aurili worked in Villeneuve-Loubet.

Marshall Philippe Pétain purchased a house called L'Ermitage in Villeneuve-Loubet circa 1920.[3]

Villeneuve-Loubet was also the site of a battle in World War II when it was liberated by the First Special Service Force on August 26, 1944. The tower of the castle was damaged by a shell fired by the US Navy, and dozens of soldiers from both sides were killed or wounded. In 2006, the bodies of fourteen Germans who were killed during the fighting were discovered in a mass grave near the town by a local medical student.[4]

Saint Marc Church (15th century): The stained glass was created by the artist painter Pier Lecolas in 2006.
