Château de la Croix Des Gardes

The ABX® – Astec Bronze eXtrusions gave their contribution to create a dream setting immortalized in the cinema, providing a breathtaking view.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Château de la Croix Des Gardes, the castle inspired to the Florentine architecture, has been part of the mythical properties of the French Riviera.

Today, the Château is the only remaining castle to overlook the Bay of Cannes from sunrise to sunset; with breathtaking 360°-degree views over the Lérins Islands, the Mediterranean Sea, and the snow-capped mountains.

Astec has proved all its expertise realizing many windows and doors, mainly huge arched balcony doors embellished with Georgian bars reproducing the Provencal architecture that characterizes the territory.

Thanks to the nanotech treatment applied to the burnished architectural bronze, these windows and doors will pass through many more decades unscathed while preserving their beauty, even in areas that are prone to high corrosion, such as the marine environment.
