Lounging on the Côte d'Azur
Les Issambres, France
At home, Hopper, Virus, Gargantua
Villa Armor in Issambres, France, welcomes up to eight guests to enjoy the many Tools for Togetherness in its garden. This is the ultimate place to lounge in luxury and finally make time for each other. Time for endless dinners, time for shared laughter, and perhaps time for some (slightly too competitive?) games of pétanque or Uno. Because let’s face it: quality time is the best gift you can give your guests—and Extremis makes those moments even more beautiful and long lasting.
With a swimming pool and pool house, a covered patio, and no fewer than three terraces equipped with Tools for Togetherness, this garden on the French Riviera has everything you need for a perfect family getaway in a lush green setting.
Gargantuan Enjoyment
Togetherness is clearly the central theme of this garden. Take the Gargantua table for instance, where people of all ages can sit together with ease. Thanks to the adjustable benches, kids can sit at eye level with adults, allowing them to fully join in on the conversation.
Even when all eight seats are taken, the spacious tabletop still has plenty of room for everyone’s provisions. Fun fact: that’s precisely why it’s called the Gargantua—it’s designed for larger-than-life moments. And no, that doesn’t just mean mountains of food (though that’s certainly an option).
The Hopper picnic AA table also boasts a generously sized tabletop. No need to perform any gymnastics to get seated—after all, you’re on vacation—thanks to the easy entry at the ends of the benches. This design ensures that the tabletop is always 80 cm longer than the benches, leaving plenty of room for that extra dish. Delicious!
Thanks to its durable materials, this table can be placed anywhere—even by the seaside or, as here, next to the pool. Just be mindful of those bombastic pool jumps (cannonbaaaaall!), which might not be as appreciated by the diners seated nearby.
With the Hopper shade, you’re safe: protected from the intense midday sun, sheltered from a passing rain shower, and cocooned in a warm glow during long summer evenings. To close the shade, simply unlock the poles, allowing them to move toward each other and come to a stop above the center of the tabletop. Meanwhile, springs ensure the cloth rolls up smoothly without any wrinkles.
The Holiday Virus
Aperitifs and games of Uno often take place around the Virus table. This playful piece of furniture is perfect for bringing out your inner child. Its easy entry makes it effortless to slide into a seat. But beware: in this beautiful region of Les Issambres, you’re bound to give you the holiday Virus. Symptoms? Enjoyable symptoms guaranteed!
Of course, the tide can turn quickly: your sister playing the dreaded +4 card in Uno again, or your dad mercilessly knocking your winning ball out of the way in pétanque. Will this family vacation end in drama and a silent drive home? Absolutely not! During a Tools for Togetherness holiday, everyone is so relaxed that not even a +4 card or a deflected ball can ruin the fun. Here, only one thing matters: enjoying time together—with just a hint of healthy competition.
