The South of France is home to some of the world’s most prestigious private residences. EED places household staff across the Côte d’Azur, Provence and Monaco — with the same rigorous selection and discretion that defines every EED placement.

Whether you need a full domestic team for a permanent estate in Antibes or seasonal staff for a summer villa in St. Tropez, EED works with UHNW families across the French Riviera who demand the highest international standards from everyone in their household.
