Fred Allard
This season, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is proud to present a unique collaboration with renowned contemporary artist Fred Allard.
Known for his innovative use of resin and inclusion techniques, Allard’s work transforms everyday objects into timeless pieces of art blending nostalgia and modernity.
This partnership sees a dual presence within the hotel: a striking exhibition of his paintings at The Grill, and an exclusive collection available for sale in our boutique.

At The Grill
The Grill will host an exclusive exhibition of Fred Allard's inclusion paintings throughout the season. Each piece beautifully captures the essence of the hotel’s iconic guestbook signatures and legendary photographs, immortalizing the visit of renowned figures such as Karl Lagerfeld, Clint Eastwood, John Lennon, Serge Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin, and Slim Aarons. This exhibition invites guests to rediscover the hotel's storied history through the lens of Fred Allard's contemporary artistic vision.
At the Boutique
To complement his exhibition at The Grill, Fred Allard has created a capsule collection of sculptural works and collectibles available exclusively at the Eden-Roc Riviera Collection Boutique. At the heart of the offering are his iconic Paper Bags — resin-encased sculptures infused with symbols of pop culture and luxury, reimagined in the colors and spirit of the hotel. Featured alongside them is a series of collectibles that embody everyday objects from the Eden-Roc universe, transforming cherished memories into contemporary art pieces. Each work distills the hotel’s distinctive identity into a keepsake of Riviera elegance.
