An Exclusive Evening with Maxwell-Baynes | Christie’s & Ferrari

Where prestige real estate meets automotive legend.

On June 19, 2025, Maxwell-Baynes | Christie’s International Real Estate had the pleasure of hosting an exceptional evening in collaboration with Ferrari Palau Mérignac. Set just moments from the iconic Dune du Pilat, in the refined and intimate setting of our Pyla agency, this gathering brought together two worlds of excellence for an unforgettable experience.

Two Icons, One Shared Vision

This partnership came as a natural fit. Ferrari and Maxwell-Baynes | Christie’s share the same values of dedication, passion, and excellence in delivering a truly bespoke client experience. By uniting luxury real estate and the legendary Italian carmaker, the evening was designed to meet the expectations of our most discerning guests.

Held at our Pyla | Cap Ferret agency — ideally located between the sought-after Moulleau district and the Dune du Pilat — this event confirmed our agency's status as a key player in the local property market, both for high-end real estate transactions and seasonal rentals.

A Sophisticated Interlude of Passion and Art de Vivre

In a summery and elegant atmosphere, guests enjoyed a refined cocktail reception accompanied by a live jazz trio led by Roger Biwandu. All eyes were drawn to the sculptural lines of Ferrari’s latest models: the Ferrari 12Cilindri and the 2024 Ferrari Purosangue, both exclusively showcased by the Palau dealership.

The floral arrangements, elegantly integrated into the staging, subtly enhanced the harmony between our two brands — offering a coherent and refined visual experience.

A Privileged Guestlist for a Timeless Moment

Ninety-five guests were personally invited by our agents and welcomed with warmth, discretion, and attention to detail. In this intimate setting—far from formal business conventions—meaningful conversations flourished, reinforcing the trusting relationships we nurture daily. With a glass in hand, under swaying palms, and jazz playing softly in the background, our agents were able to engage in meaningful exchanges with their guests—true to the human, attentive, and tailored relationships we cultivate at Maxwell-Baynes | Christie’s.
