EDITORS COMMENTS
Maxime Elliott's Riviera Soiree: A Glimpse into the Exclusive World of Chateau l'Horizon, 1933 The sun-soaked shores of the French Riviera played host to an extraordinary gathering of high society at the villa of American actress, Maxime Elliott, in the autumn of 1933. The Chateau l'Horizon, a magnificent residence built to her specifications by renowned Riviera architect Barry Dierks, was the setting for an unforgettable soiree. The distinguished guests, who graced the hallowed grounds of this luxurious villa, were a veritable who's who of aristocracy and privilege. Lady Castlerosse, the Hon. Mrs. Beck, Lord Portarlington, Princess Jean de Faucigny-Lucinge, Lady Mendl, Mrs. Hays Morgan, the Duke of Sutherland, and Mr. James Beck were but a few of the esteemed attendees. The Chateau l'Horizon, nestled along the picturesque shores of Golfe Juan, boasted a water chute from the swimming pool that extended out to the open sea. The guests reveled in the opulence of their surroundings, basking in the warm Mediterranean sun and indulging in the finest offerings of French cuisine and South of France wines. As they lounged by the pool or strolled along the pristine gardens, the guests of Maxime Elliott's Riviera villa savored the rarefied atmosphere of luxury and exclusivity that only the French Riviera could offer. The Bystander captures a moment in time, a snapshot of an era when the privileged few retreated to their sumptuous villas to escape the stresses of the world and revel in the simple pleasures of life.
