The 64th International Debutante Ball: A Royal Night In Photos - New York City, NY Patch
New Post has been published on https://harryandmeghan.xyz/the-64th-international-debutante-ball-a-royal-night-in-photos-new-york-city-ny-patch/
The 64th International Debutante Ball: A Royal Night In Photos - New York City, NY Patch
Tumblr media
Have you ever wondered where the ultra-rich and royal find a husband? It used to be the International Debutante Ball in New York City. Today the event is a networking opportunity and family celebration for the high society, so they say, but I’m not convinced. After attending this years 64th Debutante Ball I’m pretty sure some of the ladies took away a new crush on the attending young men. Welcome to the world of the ‘real’ Gossip Girls.
Twenty-two accomplished young women made their debut at the ball and dinner dance at the Pierre Hotel on December 29th. This year’s debutantes represented Belgium, England, France, India, Liechtenstein, Scotland, and nine American states. The Honorary Chairman and sponsor of the event was Ms. Julia Irene Kauffman, and Co-Chairs were Ms. Anne Eisenhower and Mrs. David R. Hamilton.
In today’s Daniela’s Lens, I’ll tell you all about the event from my photographer’s point of view.
1:32 p.m. Uh oh, my dress is ripped. For someone who goes out to black tie events almost every night, I own a disturbingly small number of dresses. Exactly three, to be precise. Why, you ask? Well, it’s the same reason why I live in the crappier part of Jersey City with four roommates, and I have to make a budget plan whenever I need new batteries for my camera. I spend the next hour sewing my dress back together before I make my way to the city to take another glimpse at the world of royals and billionaires.
3:11 p.m. And although this all sounds very cinderellaeske, it doesn’t always feel like it. On my way through Jersey City to the PATH train, I almost get into a brawl of drug dealers heavily fighting each other on the street. I hope they don’t pull out guns. I run in my sneakers, high heels in one hand, holding my long dress up with the other, 40 pounds of camera equipment on my back, heavy wind ruining my blow dry and sweating the makeup off my face, up the hill around the next corner and make a long detour to get away from whatever these thugs are doing.
Tumblr media
Miss Aubrienne Krysiewicz-Bell, daughter of Mr. Thomas Bell and Dr. Susan Krysiewicz, representing New York City
5:01 p.m. I arrive at the Pierre Hotel. Some ladies are already here. Aubrienne takes a last look at her white designer dress.
White is the color of the debutantes tonight. And don’t you dare to wear white if you are a guest!
Tumblr media
Miss Adelaide Mathilde Escaravage, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Escaravage, Far Hills, representing New Jersey
5:16 p.m. To become a debutante, it’s not enough to be rich. You have to go through a rigorous selection process. The candidate needs to be recommended by a previous debutante and be a “women of distinction” who is highly accomplished in athletics, community service, academics, philanthropy, and charity. And of course, she needs to be able to pay the presentation fee which is around $22.000 (writes the New York Post in 2016).
Tumblr media
Miss Catherine d’Andigne, daughter of Comte et Comtesse Arnaud d’AndignĂ©, Paris, France and Miss Daniella Helena Cass, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald A. Cass, Great Falls, Virginia
5:22 p.m. Catherine admires Daniella’s dress.
5:31 p.m. We are all ready for the number one high society bash tonight. Even the photographers are dressed up in their best black tie. Only one of them is in jeans and pullover. “Nobody told me about the dress code!” he says a little embarrassed. “I hope they don’t kick me out!” They won’t.
Tumblr media
5:32 p.m. White dresses wherever you look!
Tumblr media
Miss Daniella Helena Cass
5:34 p.m. It’s time to get ready for the group shot.
Tumblr media
5:45 p.m. “Two girls are missing!” says the organizer. And someone says: “Yes, they are not here yet. They are coming from downtown!” “How can you be late to an event you paid many thousands of dollars to attend?” one of the photographers whispers to me. I shrug. “Why is downtown a problem?” I ask. But nobody answers.
Tumblr media
Miss Jolie Jacqueline Vanier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jay David Vanier, Paradise Valley, Arizona
5:46 p.m.
“Let me fix your train”, I say to Jolie and lay out the satin perfectly for the photo. “Tu es jolie, Jolie!” I say and hope I don’t sound weird.
Tumblr media
Charlotte Drummond-Herdman and Lexa Drummond of Megginch, daughters of Mr. Giles Herdman and The Honorable Mrs. Drummond-Herdman. Megginch Castle, Errol, Perthshire, Scotland
5:51 p.m.
Ah, Scotland! These ladies live in a real castle! It’s the 15th-century Megginch Castle in Perth and Kinross, in central Scotland.
Tumblr media
6:02 p.m. And here come the boys!
Tumblr media
Meredith Olivia Shields, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Stratford Shields, Chicago, Illinois and New York, New York Graysen Leslie Airth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Airth, Newport Beach, California and Emilia McManus, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McManus, Basking Ridge, New Jersey
6:09 p.m.
Smile!
Tumblr media
Dominique Lucile Melcher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Collins Goff, Ft. Worth, Texas Catherine Fields Coselli, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Stapleton Coselli, Houston, Texas and Miss Olivia Claiborne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Steven Late, Austin, Texas
6:11 p.m.
They are all from Texas! Beautiful dresses! Beautiful ladies!
Tumblr media
6:13 p.m. It’s time for the cocktail hour before the main event starts.
Tumblr media
Archduke Michael of Austria, Princess Maria of Liechtenstein, Princess Aurelia of Liechtenstein, daughter of Prince and Princess Hugo of Liechtenstein, Valduz, Liechtenstein and Syrgenstein, Germany and Victoria Gordon.
6:24 p.m. I say hello to Victoria Gordon, who is a friend from California. She was a debutante together with her sister Natalie Gordon at the 60th International Debutante Ball.
A group of German-speaking guests joins us. And because I’m from Germany and my first language is German, I chat away.
Austrians and Liechtensteiners both speak German, and we have the same genetic background which is so very obvious, it’s eerie. Similar hair color, skin color, bone structure and we are all very tall. But my long limbs are weirdly hanging around my body like the Slendermans compared to the grace of the princesses.
“You all look alike!” says Victoria.
“Yeah, I can spot people from around that region in New York from half a mile away,” I say. “When I lived in Germany, I was so used to the people; I thought we all look very different. Only when I started living in a lot more mixed place like New York, I discovered we are all clones over there.”
Tumblr media
6:31 p.m. It’s time for the next part of the event.
Tumblr media
Miss Jolie Jacqueline Vanier
6:45 p.m. The ladies are taking their places in the ‘receiving line’ also called the ‘assembly line’. That’s code for the debutantes standing in a line waiting to greet the guests. Each one’s representative flag is positioned behind them. The flag is either the one of their home country, state or coat of arms if they are royal.
Tumblr media
Miss Elisa Defries and Miss Lara Defries, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Graham Defries, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England
6:55 p.m. And here are the British ladies!
Tumblr media
Miss Axelle Laurent Josi, daughter of Mr. Jean-Louis and Mrs. Stephanie Laurent Josi, Brussels, Belgium and Hong Kong
7:04 p.m. Another German speaking debutante!
Tumblr media
Miss Ireland Irving, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Irving, Naples, Florida
7:05 p.m. Hello Florida!
Tumblr media
Miss Katherine Louise Benham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Michael Benham, Princeton, New Jersey
7:06 p.m. All the debutantes are carrying a bouquet of pink roses.
Tumblr media
Miss Mary Valentine Apple, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Valentin I. J. Apple, Winston Salem, North Carolina
7:11 p.m. Very beautiful, Miss Apple!
Tumblr media
7:45 p.m. It’s dinner time! I’m still running around, taking photos from all angles. Then everybody starts eating.
But for the photographers, this is the hardest part of the evening. Watching other people eat. No matter how much food you had before the event, it’s going to be mouthwatering and painful. Especially because they serve the most exquisite dinners, money can buy at these type of events. I will never get used to it.
Sometimes, when I can’t take the smell of deliciousness anymore, I escape to the restroom and put peppermint oil under my nose.
7:48 p.m. Tonight, I’m in for a surprise.
I stand in the back at the bar together with another photographer when the organizer comes along.
“I’ll have a seat for you in a minute, and you guys can have dinner!” she says to us. I look at the other photographer. We both smile all over our faces. This is the best thing that can possibly happen. Jackpot.
And the banquet manager chimes in: “Do you want some shots while you are waiting? You should do some shots!”
We both politely say thank you but no. Instead, he brings us two glasses of white wine filled all the way to the top. There is half a bottle in each of our glasses.
7:52 p.m. And then we get to eat. The chef serves the most tender cut of beef, a blood-colored, thick slice of premium filet mignon with mashed potato and string beans. It’s so good; I have tears in my eyes while eating. And I’m not exaggerating. A perfectly prepared meal is my number one choice over almost anything. I’m so very thankful.
Tumblr media
8:21 p.m. Hi family Gordon!
Tumblr media
Miss Nikhar Tandon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Satyan Tandon, Mumbai, India
8:31 p.m. What a gorgeous dress and a gorgeous lady!
Tumblr media
Miss Catherine d’AndignĂ© and Christophe Hauptmann
9:03 p.m. Next up is the main gist of the night: The introduction of the debutantes. Each debutante walks down the aisle escorted by a young man of distinction and accompanied by a song representing her countries national anthem or a song associated with her state or city.
Tumblr media
Miss Catherine d’AndignĂ© and Christophe Hauptmann
9:04 p.m. She then walks up the stairs onto the stage and makes a curtsy or bows down, and this is her moment to be formally presented to the social scene — each debutante chooses her unique obeisances.
Tumblr media
10:00 p.m. All the girls go on the dancefloor. It’s time to dance with your dads!
Tumblr media
Miss Axelle Laurent Josi and her father
10:06 p.m. Of course, these young women know how to do a traditional ballroom dance.
Tumblr media
Miss Ella Albright Ekstrom, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loren Ekstrom, Barrington, Illinois
10:12 p.m. Let’s celebrate!
Tumblr media
10:17 p.m. Everybody is loosening up now.
Tumblr media
10:23 p.m. This is the Archduke Michael of Austria dancing with the Princess Aurelia of Liechtenstein. They look amazingly beautiful, don’t you think so?
“Where is Liechtenstein?” asks one of the photographers.
“It’s between Austria and Switzerland. It’s tiny.” I say.
Liechtenstein is the size of Brooklyn but with a population of only 38k (Brooklyn has about 2.6 million people) and a lot of medieval castles. It’s the sixth least populated country in the world; even Monaco has more inhabitants.
Tumblr media
10:41 p.m. Axelle is the best dancer tonight!
Tumblr media
11:09 p.m. Ella found some handsome escorts!
Tumblr media
Aubrienne Krysiewicz-Bell
11:13 p.m.
So romantic!
Tumblr media
1:00 a.m. Yes, the party is still going strong. But I need a break. I sit down in the back and kick away my high heels. Uh oh, my feet are going to be destroyed tomorrow morning. Let’s have a drink.
1:30 a.m. “Do you want to dance? I’ve seen you working all night, I think you should have some fun!” a man approaches me and asks me for a dance. It’s another ballroom dance, and I really don’t know what I’m doing but trick myself into thinking I’m good enough to fake it. He spins me around the dance floor, and I suddenly feel like Cinderella!

Florence, une virée aux sources du monde moderne
Peut-on atteindre l’annĂ©e de ses cinquante ans sans avoir vu Florence? On le peut. J’en suis un vivant exemple. Jusqu’à ce dĂ©but 2017, je n’avais jamais vu le joyau de la Toscane, ni la Toscane elle-mĂȘme. J’ai fini par m’y rendre, pour deux jours seulement, et pour un motif qui n’a rien de touristique. J’avais rendez-vous dans un village antique pour une rĂ©elle conjuration, Ă  la florentine, avec des gens dĂ©terminĂ©s Ă  faire crouler une superstition majeure de notre Ă©poque. Un pilier, mĂȘme, du systĂšme Ă©conomique, philosophique et social finissant qui nous entrave aujourd’hui.
C’est de cela que j’ai voulu initialement rendre compte, puis je me suis avisĂ© que ce n’était encore ni le lieu ni le temps. Mais une autre mĂ©lodie s’est immiscĂ©e dans ma rĂ©flexion, et c’est cette musique inattendue que j’aimerais restituer ici.
*
Dans une vie antĂ©rieure, j’ai failli devenir historien d’art. Je connaissais la galerie des Offices comme mon grenier sans pourtant l’avoir jamais vue. Et les marbres de Michel-Ange. Et le campanile de Giotto. Et la somptueuse CathĂ©drale. Et le Palazzo Pitti... Mais je confondais des diapositives avec la rĂ©alitĂ© et des pages de livres avec des rues pavĂ©es sentant le cuir et la pĂąte au four Ă  bois.
Nous n’avions qu’un aprĂšs-midi Ă  disposition. En sortant de la gare centrale, nous sommes allĂ©s flairer les parfums du MarchĂ© couvert, visiter la Chapelle des MĂ©dicis et voir ce que nous pouvions voir du circuit habituel dans cette citĂ© si petite et si colossale Ă  la fois. Florence est un prodige, un cabinet de curiositĂ©s Ă  l’échelle d’une ville. On ne peut lever le regard vers une arcade ni l’abaisser vers les marches sans tomber Ă  l’arrĂȘt. Les visiteurs trop pressĂ©s risquent d’y connaĂźtre le «syndrome de Stendhal», comme me l’a expliquĂ© avec humour ma guide, native du lieu. On s’ébahit tant qu’on finit Ă  l’hĂŽpital, par hyperventilation, par Ă©tourdissement ou par apoplexie. Et je marchais lïżœïżœ comme tous ces hypnotisĂ©s, la gorge serrĂ©e, la vue brouillĂ©e de larmes, me rĂ©pĂ©tant «Seigneur aie pitiĂ©!».
Aie pitiĂ© de moi, terrassĂ© par tant de beautĂ©. Aie pitiĂ© des orgueilleux qui me l’ont lĂ©guĂ©e. Aie pitiĂ© de cette ville et de ce pays que Ton ombre mĂȘme a dĂ©sertĂ©s!
J’ai vu des pays oĂč la croix est inconnue ou prohibĂ©e. J’ai passĂ© des heures dans les jardins des medresas d’Istanbul. J’ai purifiĂ© mon corps dans le Gange en y regardant passer les vaches mortes, le ventre gonflĂ© Ă  Ă©clater. J’ai arrosĂ© le lingam dans des temples hindous et laissĂ© inscrire le troisiĂšme Ɠil sur mon front. J’ai traversĂ© Budapest et Sofia dans la grisaille de plomb du communisme. J’ai avalĂ© des bibliothĂšques d’occultisme et vu des rites innommables. Mais me suis rarement senti aussi loin de Dieu que parmi les palais florentins. Sinon, peut-ĂȘtre, dans ce non-lieu absolu qu’est le Parlement europĂ©en de Bruxelles (voir Antipresse 30). Est-ce un hasard ou la citĂ© des MĂ©dicis et l’utopie eurocratique sont-elles liĂ©es?
*
Pour pĂ©nĂ©trer dans la chapelle des MĂ©dicis, il fallait passer sous les fourches caudines du contrĂŽle aux rayons X qui transforme l’amateur d’art en un vulgaire mouton potentiellement explosif. Tant pis. Il y avait quelque chose Ă  vĂ©rifier. Oui: les marbres Ă©taient somptueux, colorĂ©s, immenses. Les tombeaux, dimensionnĂ©s pour des Golems. Les murs, les cloisons, les sols ornĂ©s de pierres incrustĂ©es, bariolĂ©es, serties avec une prĂ©cision dĂ©mente. Sur les catafalques, les potentats du temps Ă©taient figurĂ©s en gĂ©nĂ©raux romains, le poitrail fier, les veines saillantes et l’Ɠil impitoyable. OĂč est la croix? Nulle part. Si. DerriĂšre ceux d’entre eux qui avaient eu l’habiletĂ© de se faire faire papes. Sceptre du pouvoir Ă  l’égal du glaive et des faisceaux.
Un roi-philosophe trĂŽne, l’air pensif, au-dessus de deux nus opulents figurant le CrĂ©puscule et l’Aurore. On reconnaĂźt la puissance bodybuildesque et la prĂ©cision clinique des anatomies de Michel-Ange. C’est Laurent II de MĂ©dicis. Non le Magnifique mais son petit-fils, le duc d’Urbin: le destinataire du Prince de Machiavel. Le langage des formes qu’emprunte ce mausolĂ©e central de la Renaissance est hallucinogĂšne. Sans le respect que nous inculque de maniĂšre pavlovienne toute notre Ă©ducation d’EuropĂ©ens «cultivĂ©s», nous nous croirions Ă  mi-chemin d’une reconstitution antique dĂ©lirante signĂ©e par Tim Burton et du palace d’un narcotrafiquant chinois. Au milieu de cette pompe et de ce faste presqu’enfantins, nous sommes Ă  la source mĂȘme de la pensĂ©e politique moderne.
Dans un rayon d’à peine un kilomĂštre, Florence concentre tout ce que l’homme seul, l’homme dĂ©bridĂ©, l’homme libĂ©rĂ© de toute entrave divine a crĂ©Ă© de plus audacieux, de plus expressif, de plus dĂ©complexĂ©. Les saints eux-mĂȘmes, quand ils apparaissent, prennent le visage ou le nom des chefs de clans florentins. Les Chinois ou les Hindous, me suis-je demandĂ©, ont-ils jamais osĂ© reprĂ©senter leurs divinitĂ©s avec le visage et les attributs de leurs mĂ©cĂšnes? Florence est le sommet du «j’ose tout» de l’EuropĂ©en moderne. C’est lĂ  que nous, EuropĂ©ens, avons appris l’art et l’habitude du fusil Ă  tir courbe et du billard Ă  trois bandes. Que ce soit dans l’art et la sculpture ou dans la pensĂ©e (Machiavel), la forme mise en lumiĂšre n’est que l’alibi des rĂ©alitĂ©s de l’ombre. Nous construisons une Ă©glise, mais nous nous cĂ©lĂ©brons nous-mĂȘmes. Nous parlons d’intĂ©rĂȘt gĂ©nĂ©ral, mais nous ne faisons que consolider notre pouvoir.
Depuis Florence et la Renaissance italienne, l’Europe ne construit plus que des labyrinthes. Ses univers esthĂ©tiques sont des villages Potemkine, des dĂ©cors Ă  deux dimensions oĂč la profondeur est habilement suggĂ©rĂ©e et qui ne nous renvoient qu’à nous-mĂȘmes. Ce n’est pas pour rien que la peinture pieuse de la Renaissance italienne a inventĂ© la perspective. Ce n’est pas pour rien que l’iconographie orthodoxe l’a toujours fermement rejetĂ©e.
*
La mouette du Ponte Vecchio, photographie de Slobodan Despot
J’aurais voulu tout voir, tout toucher. Mais comment? Devant le DĂŽme ou les Offices, les queues s’étirent Ă  longueur d’annĂ©e. Je passais en revue les rĂ©giments de l’armĂ©e touristique oĂč les sticks Ă  selfies tenaient lieu de lances et de hallebardes. Combien de ces gens savaient-ils prĂ©cisĂ©ment ce qu’ils Ă©taient venus chercher lĂ , sinon la photo souvenir avec le David en arriĂšre-plan? Combien, parmi ces victimes des circuits «culturels» obligatoires venues des quatre coins de la Terre, y avait-il de pĂšlerins conscients? Car Florence est un pĂšlerinage de civilisation. De mĂȘme que les Hindous montent vĂ©nĂ©rer les sources du Gange, fleuve-dieu Ă  qui tout le sous-continent doit sa vie et sa nourriture, de mĂȘme les Occidentaux, sciemment ou par rĂ©flexe, font procession et vĂ©nĂ©ration dans les bibliothĂšques et les galeries florentines oĂč leur civilisation a Ă©tĂ© concrĂštement projetĂ©e et façonnĂ©e. Si l’Occident est le lieu oĂč la conscience devient majeure, comme le dĂ©finit Raymond Abellio, Florence est son Ă©picentre. EmmitouflĂ©e dans son bouffonnement de collines, cette petite ville est Ă  la premiĂšre religion athĂ©e ce que Bodhgaya — le figuier de Bouddha — est au bouddhisme.
*
C’est ici que le mot «Renaissance» prend son sens le plus tangible et le plus dĂ©risoire. Renaissance de quoi, ces Italiens comploteurs et rabougris qui se dĂ©guisent en lĂ©gionnaires antiques? Le mouvement tout entier repose sur un malentendu habilement entretenu par les princes et les papes mĂ©diĂ©vaux.
L’empire romain n’est pas mort en 476 sous les invasions barbares. Le dernier empereur Ă  avoir portĂ© la toge pourpre est mort dix siĂšcles plus tard, en 1453, sur les murailles de Constantinople, en dĂ©fendant l’Europe contre l’invasion turque. Il s’appelait Constantin XI PalĂ©ologue DragasĂšs et descendait des empereurs qui ont perpĂ©tuĂ© Rome au-delĂ  de Rome pendant plus de mille ans. PlutĂŽt que de sauver l’empire concret, ou ce qu’il en restait sur les rives du Bosphore, l’Europe a prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© en reconstruire une abstraction philosophique et esthĂ©tique.
La «Renaissance» eĂ»t Ă©tĂ© mort-nĂ©e si l’on n’avait pas effacĂ© de l’histoire ce «petit» millĂ©naire-lĂ . Aujourd’hui encore, toute l’éducation des Europens occidentaux fait l’impasse sur ces mille ans. On a quelques notions sur Charlemagne et sur les Huns, mais on ne sait rien, absolument rien, de Byzance, de sa pensĂ©e, de son art, de sa civilisation. Pour expliquer la transmission de la culture et des sciences par-dessus les siĂšcles d’arriĂ©ration, l’Occident a prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© entretenir le mythe de l’apport arabe plutĂŽt que de recoudre les deux pans du manteau chrĂ©tien dĂ©chirĂ©.
*
Les manuels et les cours d’histoire de l’art nous mentionnaient parfois la galerie commandĂ©e en 1565 par Cosme 1er au grand architecte Vasari. J’ai enfin pu voir de mes yeux ce boyau surĂ©levĂ© reliant les deux grands palais par-dessus l’Arno, et j’en ai Ă©tĂ© abasourdi. Il suffit pourtant d’ouvrir Wikipedia pour comprendre l’extraordinaire modernitĂ© de cette voie fermĂ©e de plus d’un kilomĂštre de long:
«Le Corridoio, reliant le Palazzo Vecchio au Palais Pitti, permettait à la riche et puissante famille de Médicis de se prémunir de tentatives d'attentats en évitant de descendre dans la rue et ainsi pouvoir traverser sans escorte le fleuve de l'Arno par le Ponte Vecchio.»
Des gouvernants qui vont et viennent sans toucher terre, sans se mĂȘler Ă  la population et qui vivent dans la crainte des attentats, cela ne vous rappelle rien? On n’a mĂȘme pas oubliĂ© de joindre l’utile Ă  l’agrĂ©able:
«Ils pouvaient admirer
 une galerie d'art qui comptait plus de 200 autoportraits, commencĂ©e par le collectionneur LĂ©opold de MĂ©dicis.»
Je n’ai pas pu voir, hĂ©las, le «Corridoio» de l’intĂ©rieur, mais l’extĂ©rieur m’a suffi. Toutes les institutions de l’Europe du XXIe siĂšcle en sont inspirĂ©es.
*
Comme tout haut lieu du tourisme, Florence est truffĂ©e de boutiques de luxe et de temples de la mode. Au cours de cet aprĂšs-midi frĂ©nĂ©tique, je ne me suis arrĂȘtĂ© que devant une seule enseigne. J’y suis mĂȘme entrĂ©. C’était une papeterie oĂč l’on vendait des papiers d’emballage imprimĂ©s Ă  la main et des cartes postales avec des motifs Ă  jour ciselĂ©s avec un art sublime. Tout y Ă©tait parfait et intemporel, Ă©mouvant de grïżœïżœce. Cartes de vƓux, d’anniversaire, de mariage: toute la signalĂ©tique d’une vie bien ordonnĂ©e et bien accompagnĂ©e. Ceux qui vous priaient Ă  rĂ©ception ou Ă  dĂ©jeuner avec ces cartes-lĂ  ne pouvaient ĂȘtre que des gens bien. Il reste encore quelques Ă©choppes, Ă  Florence, oĂč l’on transmet un hĂ©ritage humble et vrai: l’hĂ©ritage immĂ©morial des artisans italiens. Je me suis cachĂ© dans cette papeterie comme dans un abri. J’y Ă©tais entourĂ© d’un art vrai et humain qui sert plutĂŽt que d’asservir. PrĂ©fĂ©rer les papetiers Ă  Michel-Ange! Il n’y a qu’un barbare pour avoir cette idĂ©e

*
Puis nous avons regagnĂ© notre base arriĂšre dans les collines. Mes hĂŽtes habitaient une trĂšs vieille maison paysanne en pierre. Le soir, dans ces campagnes non encore atteintes par la pollution lumineuse, reste encore le soir. On y devine les hautes ombres des cyprĂšs et l’on ausculte les aboiements des chiens dans les fermes lointaines. On feuilletait quelques vieux livres et l’on parlait Ă  voix basse autour d’un vin toscan et de verdures arrosĂ©es d’huile d’olive. A l’horizon, une ou deux vallĂ©es plus loin, les lumiĂšres de Florence la tĂ©mĂ©raire faisaient pĂąlir le ciel et effaçaient les Ă©toiles.

Inspiration on the French Riviera
So much more than just a coastline, the French Riviera is dotted with hidden gems steeped in local history, excellent cuisine and artists hideaways, discretely located alongside the region’s world-renowned glamour. Head inland from the waterfront bustle to explore towns immersed in rich Mediterranean culture, where pristine vineyards hug hillside contours and an array of artisan activity provides endless appeal.
It is no secret that the evocative Cote d’Azur has long been a big draw for artists and some resulting masterpieces have changed the face of art as we know it. These favoured haunts have aroused such passionate vision thanks to the peerless blue skies and vivid hues of sun, a fact easy to appreciate when watching the exquisite light flicker across the undulating coastline. Dramatic, diverse and ultimately picturesque, this area is home to numerous “villages perchĂ©s”; ancient hillside towns packed with thriving communities, where secluded luxury blends with ingenuity. Such unique enclaves of inspiration indeed project an inimitable pull, ready to enchant and beguile the senses of those who come to explore.
Eze
Found 425m above the azure sea, countryside charm exudes from ancient Eze. Centred around the ruins of a 12th century castle, an intricate labyrinth of medieval streets bursts with craft boutiques and art exhibitions. Overlooking magnificent villas festooned with bright bougainvillea, the Jardin Exotique is a haven of tranquillity, not to mention a horticulturalists’ dream, packed with a multitude of cacti, citrus trees and tropical plants. The stunning Chateau Eza hotel, a secluded 400-year-old property and former residence of a Swedish Prince, offers a one-star Michelin gourmet experience on the elegant terrace, high above the sparkling Med. For uber gastronomic dining, the two Michelin star La Chevre d’Or is a world-famous delight. Filled with olfactory delights, the Galimard Perfume Factory and Museum in Eze captures the nostalgia of a bygone era with antique perfume bottles and delicate fragrances locked within a magical environment; an opportunity to visit should not be missed.
Cimiez
Behind the buzzing town of Nice, the historic neighbourhood of lofty Cimiez is calm and secluded, wafted by gentle sea breezes and blessed with incredible views. A town once favoured by glamorous aristocrats, a must-see is the magnificent 17th century mansion of MusĂ©e Matisse. Home to the master himself, several of his major works are on display – both art lovers and the uninitiated alike will be captivated. Another surprise is the beautiful 16th century Franciscan monastery, filled with hundreds of items of art, a small museum and immaculate gardens. For those wanting to get away from it all, the lovely Cimiez park is ideal for relaxing beneath the olive trees or a stroll around the fragrant rose gardens; where during summer evenings there are often music concerts held here.
Biot
Charismatic Biot, in the hills between Antibes and Nice, offers a niche of delicate creativity positioned within robust stone fortifications. Here the world-renowned La Verrerie de Biot showcases the mesmerising glasswork trade, with accomplished technicians using the secrets of earth and fire to create objects of beauty. To fully master this skill takes over eight years and craftsmen must be determined, artistic and capable in order to produce the Biot signature bubble structures; each item they craft is a completely unique work of art.
A captivating place both inside and out, the Musee National Fernand-Leger displays prolific Leger’s enthralling progression from post-impressionism through Cubism to Tubism. A powerful collection of large and bright art pieces commands their own space in order to be fully appreciated; being there is an ultimately feel-good experience. The garden hosts many of this important French artist’s sculptures and ceramics, while nearby are equally impressive murals and mosaics displayed across external walls.
Antibes
Within the magnificent 17th century Chateau Grimaldi in Antibes, impressively positioned on the site of the ancient Greek city of Antipolis, MusĂ©e Picasso pays exceptional homage to the radical Spanish artist. This chateau hosted Picasso for a short period, where he found his artistic spirit was inspired by the remarkable light found in this exquisite seaside hamlet. The museum’s curator allowed Picasso to use the top floor as his studio, resulting in an incredible 23 paintings and 44 drawings. Upon leaving, Picasso donated his work to the museum, stipulating all should remain there permanently. Regularly visiting, he gradually expanded the broad collection, donating numerous drawings, prints, paintings and ceramics over time. This seaside hamlet was the first museum in the world to be dedicated to Picasso’s work.
Saint-Paul de Vence
Situated on the Colline des Gardettes overlooking picturesque Saint-Paul de Vence, the Maeght Foundation is a world-leading private institution and modern art gallery. Designed by Josep LluĂ­s Sert, a variety of renowned painters and sculptors collaborated with the Catalan architect to create a place where art, nature and architecture blend in perfect harmony. With diverse works of art from the 20th century and contemporary artists such as Georges Braque, Marc Chagall and Joan Miro, this exceptional site contains some of the most important collections in Europe.
Not just limited to simply visual delights, a reputation for culinary ingenuity sees visitors flock to the French Riviera to sample a variety of mouth-watering and colourful cuisine, further enhanced by the accompaniment of award-winning wines and local cheeses. An appreciation for food and fine dining runs in the veins of every French man and woman, with outstanding regional ingredients cultivated with pride; it is no wonder many illustrious chefs hail from this epicurean centre, their gastronomy revered the world over.
Mougins
Mougins, positioned between Cannes and Grasse, rises in a corkscrew of enchanting cobbled streets. The historic centre is awash with quaint alleyways adorned with fountains and statues, while artists’ studios blend into a backdrop of lush gardens. Having become known as a centre of gastronomy, Mougins is home to a myriad of magnificent restaurants, including those with Michelin stars, not forgetting their wonderful food festival each year.
A highly attractive aspect in the village are the trees that grow through restaurant terraces in the main square, creating their very own artistic imprint. At the heart is the picturesque Vieux Village, offering spectacular views over Cannes and Grasse with an international reputation for its gourmet cuisine, where great chefs such as Roger VergĂ© and Alain Ducasse managed restaurants. Firm links with the art world endures: Mougins has been frequented and inhabited by many artists and celebrities such as Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Man Ray and Winston Churchill, and now showcases 30 art galleries and museums. It’s most famous resident, Pablo Picasso, spent the last 12 years of his life living here.
Port Grimaud
Often referred to as “Little Venice”, relaxed Port Grimaud sits on the doorstep of buzzing St Tropez, superbly combining glorious Riviera beauty with the provincial charm found in Venice. This picturesque mini port offers diverse eateries serving high-quality cuisine to tantalise the taste-buds in a scenic setting. Head inland to the medieval city of Grimaud itself, where thriving galleries and studios have arisen in this charming location filled with motivation for painters, sculptors and writers.
Nestled just away from the glittering coastline, the inspired seclusion and unexpected experiences of these hidden Riviera charms are just a small step away from universal harbourside glam. As Greta Garbo once said, “I want to be alone” – discover the Cote d’Azur lesser-known spots where your wish may come true.
