'I loved every word' - Sarra Manning, Red '[A] blissful book - it's
like basking in the warm Med' - Rachel Johnson, Mail on Sunday The
Riviera Set is the story of the group of people who lived, partied,
bed-hopped and politicked at the Chateau de l'Horizon near Cannes,
over the course of forty years from the time when Coco Chanel made
southern French tans fashionable in the twenties to the death of
the playboy Prince Aly Khan in 1960. At the heart of this was the
amazing Maxine Elliott, the daughter of a fisherman from
Connecticut, who built the beautiful art deco Chateau and brought
together the likes of Noel Coward, the Aga Khan, the Windsors and
two very saucy courtesans, Doris Castlerosse and Daisy Fellowes,
who set out to be dangerous distractions to Winston Churchill as he
worked on his journalism and biographies during his 'wilderness
years' in the thirties. After the War the story continued as the
Chateau changed hands and Prince Aly Khan used it to entertain the
Hollywood set, as well as launch his seduction of and eventual
marriage to Rita Hayworth.
