5 stars event for a prize as big as the Ritz
« On a Friday Evening while Riva mahogany boats dazzle along the water front, the world and its literature mistress return to Gatsby’s house and gleam blabby on the sea deck.«
The Great Fitzi overhung his beloved art deco Belles Rives Hotel, French Riviera place on gorgeous Juan Les Pins, where he spent some family bohemian times in the 20s. Gatsby was out of the place but Francis Scott and Zelda’s eyes gazed at early bird of the party. Celebrating with these reveller lovers is not really astonishing but party animals were not so wild in these sunny nights. Evening rendez-vous didn’t mean empty terrasse.
