Description
The Riviera Set is a captivating tale of the glamorous lives of those who lived, partied, and politicked at the Château de l'Horizon near Cannes. Over the course of forty years, from the 1920s to the 1960s, this group of individuals, including Maxine Elliott, Noel Coward, and Winston Churchill, came together in a whirlwind of luxury and excess. At the heart of this story is the remarkable Maxine Elliott, who built the beautiful art deco Château and brought together a diverse group of friends, including courtesans, royalty, and Hollywood stars. The Château became a hub of activity, with its inhabitants engaging in high-society antics, romantic entanglements, and even espionage. As the years passed, the Château changed hands, and its occupants continued to live life on their own terms, entertaining the rich and famous, including Prince Aly Khan and Rita Hayworth. This is a story of the extraordinary lives of those who lived in the shadow of the French Riviera, and the enduring legacy of their time together.
