Books like The Riviera set by Mary S. Lovell


The book follows the eclectic entourage who called the Chateau de l'Horizon their winter home, documenting their parties, political skirmishes, and shifting alliances over four decades. From the early 1920s, when Coco Chanel churned up the trend of sun‑kissed southern French fashions, to the final years of Prince Aly Khan’s flamboyant reign, the narrative sketches how the Riviera became a microcosm of the 20th‑century French upper class. It offers a detailed portrait of the social customs, friendships, and public debates that shaped French high society during a time of dramatic cultural change.
