The villa La Reine Jeanne is an imposing holiday mansion, built in 1928 by the American architect Barry Dierks for the French industrialist Paul-Louis Weiller.

Located on 70 hectares (170 acres) of land in the village of Cabasson, in the commune of Bormes-les-Mimosas (Var), the property is near the Fort de Brégançon.

It is renowned for having received numerous celebrities, stars, writers, monarchs, and heads of state, among whom Charlie Chaplin, Richard Nixon, King Juan Carlos of Spain, and Georges Pompidou are noted.
