In May of 1987, the Cure filmed their most beautiful video of all at Villa Beau Site in Nice, France.  The city of Nice features the most important Belle Epoch architecture in France, and many of these elegant buildings were designed by the reknowned architect Sebastien-Marcel Biasini (1841-1913).  Biasini was trained at the Ecole des Belle Arts and was considered a major architect of his time.  His gorgeous Villa Beau Site, built in 1875,  can be found at 17 Boulevard du Mont-Boron, Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, 06300, FR. 

 In 1987, the same year the Cure filmed Catch, the Villa was designated an Historic Monument.

Other important buildings designed by Biasini include the Hotel Excelsior Regina, the Palais de Marbre, the Chatelet d'Entre, the Riviera Palace, and the Villa Fructidor ~ which is located at 71 Boulevard du Mont-Boron.

If someone wants to poke him with a sharp pointed stick, that's fine by me.
