The Rothschild Family History in Megève August 3, 2017, Megeve, France Four Seasons Hotel Megève builds on the legacy of the legendary Rothschild family. Just after the First World War, Noémie de Rothschild, wife of Baron Maurice de Rothschild, was visiting St. Moritz in Switzerland and she dreamed of creating a similar ski resort in France, offering an exclusive atmosphere and a distinctly French character. On the advice of her ski instructor Try Smith, she discovered Megève, a small village dating back to the 13th century. She was immediately captivated by its charming character, as well as the splendid panoramic views from the Mont d’Arbois plateau set above the village. The Baroness was convinced that this picturesque site could easily rival St. Moritz, and thus she decided to move forward with the creation of a ski resort at Mont d’Arbois. In 1920, construction began on the first hotel, named the Palace des Neiges (no longer in existence). With the Baroness’s support, Megève quickly became a favourite meeting place of the aristocracy, as well as famous names from the worlds of business and finance. Gradually more infrastructure was put in place to ensure the resort’s long-term success. The first ski lifts and an airfield were created under the Baroness’s watchful eye. A few golf holes were created in the 1920s, but it was her son the Baron Edmond de Rothschild, a golf enthusiast, who was behind the creation of the Mont d’Arbois Golf Course in 1964, entrusting the layout to champion British golfer Sir Henry Cotton. All of these details came together in the rise of Megève as an elegant, stylish and authentic resort, embracing the history and local traditions the Baroness so cherished. 1 From generation to generation, the Rothschild family’s role in the development of Megève has never wavered. This personal involvement is now taken on by the Baron and Baroness Benjamin de Rothschild, who remain great connoisseurs of Megève and, more broadly, the Mont Blanc region. Today the Domaine du Mont d’Arbois extends over some 450 hectares (1,112 acres) and includes hotels, restaurants, the golf course and ski amenities. Baroness Ariane de Rothschild has personally assisted with the interior design of Four Seasons Hotel Megève to ensure the Hotel reflects her family’s long heritage.

Review of Theyear's Work
Review of theYear’s Work Melanie Aspey, Director of The Rothschild Archive Researchers Numerous visits to the London reading room have been made by members of an ambitious research project led by Pauline Prevost Marcilhacy. The project aims to record and catalogue the many thousand objects – pictures, jewels, statuary, objets d’art – presented to museums and gal- leries in France by members of the Rothschild family. Ulrich Leben, a member of the team, is a contributor to this issue of the Review. The Archive has received a number of publications and offprints from members of the research team, including Les Rothschild et la Commande architec- turale: collaboration ou maîtrise d’oeuvre, in Architectes et Commanditaires, Cas particuliers du XVIè au XXè edited by Tarek Berrada (Paris: Louvre, 2006); Charlotte de Rothschild, Artiste, Collectionneur et Mécène in Histoires d’Art – Mélanges en l’Honneur de Bruno Foucart, vol.ii, edited by B. Jobert, A. Goetz et S. Texier, (Paris: 2008) and Le grand Appartement de l’Hôtel St Florentin, fleuron de l’architecture néoclassique by Fabrice Ouziel in L’Estampille / L’Objet d’Art, September 2008. Sponsored by a Rothschild family trust in France, the project is a collaborative venture with the Louvre. Dr Junji Suzuki contacted the Archive in the course of his research into the development of Japanese gardens in France. Dr Suzuki had long suspected that the Japanese gardens at Boulogne-sur-Seine, the property of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, were the work of the renowned gardener Wasuke Hata. During his visit to the Archive he was able to confirm this and also identified a picture of Mr Hata in a collection of photographs presented to the Archive in 2005 by Baroness Benjamin de Rothschild.

We Are Delighted to Present to You a First-Rate Selection Of
` We are delighted to present to you a first-rate selection of wines, our aim is to ensure that whatever your personal taste and favourite style, every wine featured will be of the highest quality. The Five Arrows Hotel was built in 1887 as part of the Waddesdon Estate by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, due to this close connection to the Rothschild family, a large proportion of our wine list comes from Rothschild vineyards from around the world. However, just because much of our wine carries the Rothschild name, it does not mean that it all comes at a high price, we have developed a list that we believe also represents good value. The Rothschild’s have been associated with the world’s greatest wines for almost a century and a half. The spirit of innovation that characterises the family’s financial enterprises is evident equally in their wine-making; with the grands cru’s of Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Lafite, to ground breaking ventures in the newer wine-growing regions of the world. Rothschild wines can be said to truly embody all that is wonderful about the fruit of the vine. The rest of our wines have been handpicked by our wine expert to ensure that they complement, and stand up alongside this first-class selection. If you enjoy the Rothschild wines that you try in the restaurant, a visit to the wine shop at Waddesdon Manor is recommended to discover more. If you have any questions or would like any advice our staff are always happy to help.
