-Though British rather than American, Sir [[wp>Elton John]] has been Nice's most famous foreign resident for over three decades and is deeply embedded in the city's international identity. He purchased a large **Belle Époque villa on Mont Boron** — the forested hill separating Nice from Villefranche-sur-Mer — in the early 1990s. The sunbeam-yellow property, visible from the Promenade des Anglais, is surrounded by the parklands of the protected Mont Boron forest and commands what locals describe as the finest panoramic view of the city: the Baie des Anges, the rooftops of Vieux-Nice, the Château hill, and the Alps Maritime on the horizon. Elton has described it as his "summer house" and is said to have received an honorary citizenship of Nice. The villa — decorated with Andy Warhol originals, Roy Lichtenstein sculpture, and rotating china collections — hosted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2019. The property has been estimated at over £15 million.
