the gay riviera: jean cocteau and villa santo-sospir

Here are some images 
via
The New York Times 
T Magazine
of 
the totally
amazing and beautiful
Villa Santo-Sospir
owned by the Weisweiller's of Paris.
Cocteau was
quite a frequent vistor,
as can be seen from all of 
his 
"modifications" 
to the villa.

The mosaic as you walk in is choice,
as is 
the view
of the
"Baie des Anges".

That's Cap d'Antibes in the background.
Not bad....

Francine Weisweiller was quite a looker.
No wonder Cocteau lover her;
he loved anything that
was
beautiful.

I'll take the vase please.
No, not the hideous grape covered majolica one,
the other one.
Thanks.

Great shot of a great shade.


You can watch an interesting
film by Cocteau
of the
Villa Santo-Sospir
(Say thay 3 times fast.)
It's the second film.
