Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Built originally
as a private mansion Ville Soleil (Villa of the Sun) in 1863, the Hotel
du Cap, in Antibes on the French Riviera, first opened its doors to
guests in 1870. Gerald and Sara Murphy, a young American couple who had
expatriated to France in the 1920s, once rented the hotel for an entire
summer, a unique event for the era as the French Riviera was not a
summer destination at the time, but a winter escape for the wealthy.
With the Murphys came many legendary writers and artists of the Lost
Generation, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.
