Villa Frouin On March 18, 1884, Elizabeth Douglas Irvine (daughter of Lord William Robert Keith Douglas and Elizabeth Irvine) bought the plot of land from the company of large hotels near the Hermitage. In the hill of Hyères Costebelle, with direct access to the major Hotels L'Albion, L'Hermitage and the Grand Hotel de Costebelle, she had her villa built there whose plans take the Gothic Victorian style (white limestone rubble with painted reliefs joints. The cut stone parts of the decorative elements are yellow limestone). Villa Cigala was not a holiday villa, Elizabeth lived there until her death (December 6, 1914) in Hyères Costebelle as mentioned in her headstone at the cemetery of Dunino on the estate of Grangemuir (Scotland). Bought in 2021 by the artist couple Nadège and Etienne Frouin, this English cottage is now an atypical place for artistic creations and exhibitions. In 1948, the Duchaine couple bought the Villa Cigala (its first name) and named it Villa Avé Maria and built
