Where Did You Go To, My Lovely?
“We were going to the Old World to find a new rhythm to our lives.”
In his novel, Tender is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald recounted the cheap rents, the fast women, and the boozy, jet-set parties that have immortalized the seaside resort town of Juan-les-Pins.
During the Jazz Age, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald made it their playground. As did others of the jet-set: Hemingway, Picasso, the Murphys, the Valentinos, and Cocteau.
Today, while the town continues to draw the moneyed-class, its former glory is in retreat, the grand mansions of old now dwarfed by ill-advised condo blocks.
