A Page from The Bystander Magazine in 1932: The Riviera's Chateau l'Horizon - A Haven for the Privileged Few The French Riviera in the 1930s was a playground for the rich and famous, and none epitomized the glamour and luxury of this idyllic Mediterranean retreat more than the magnificent Chateau l'Horizon, the stunning villa belonging to the illustrious American actress Maxine Elliott. Designed by architect Barry Dierks, this architectural marvel boasted a plethora of opulent features, including a pool with a water chute that plunged directly into the azure sea below. As the sun bathed the French Riviera in its golden glow, Maxine Elliott's esteemed guests basked in the decadence of their privileged surroundings. Among those enjoying the sun-soaked terraces and crystal-clear waters were Sir Neville and Lady Pearson, formerly known as Gladys Cooper, a renowned British actress. Lord Ratendone, the Hon. Inigo Freeman-Thomas, graced the villa with his presence, as did Mrs Fred Cripps. The scene was one of pure relaxation and indulgence, a moment frozen in time that encapsulated the essence of the jet-setting elite. Maxine Elliott's beloved pet monkey, Kiki, was never far from the action, adding a playful touch to the otherwise serene atmosphere. The Chateau l'Horizon was a testament to the extravagance and allure of the Roaring Twenties and the 1930s, a time when the French Riviera became synonymous with glamour, luxury, and the high society jet set. This image, taken from the pages of The Bystander magazine in 1932, offers a glimpse into the lives of the privileged few who graced the hallowed halls of the Chateau l'Horizon, a symbol of the opulence and elegance that defined the French Riviera in the 1930s.
