Square Franck Jay Gould in Antibes, France, is an open-air performance space situated within the larger grounds of the Villa Eilenroc. Originally constructed in the 1920s as part of the estate belonging to American millionaire Frank Jay Gould, the square served as a tennis court before being repurposed for cultural events. The Villa Eilenroc itself is a notable example of Belle Époque architecture and is now owned by the municipality of Antibes. The square regularly hosts concerts during the summer months as part of the annual Jazz à Juan festival, benefiting from its natural acoustics and picturesque setting overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The space can accommodate several thousand attendees.
