Author: Simon Firth
Pages: 114
Language: English
The allure of the French Riviera, on the Côte d’Azur as it is variously known, needs little or no introduction. The landscape, the wealth, the film stars, the artists, the Belle Epoque architecture and the azure sea have all ensured the longevity of its rightful place in stunning coast lines and picturesque villages to soak up.
That in various forms, James Bond has left his mark in such pantheons of beauteous geography is no surprise. But just what are they, and in how many forms.
From his time living in Villefranche sur Mer in the summer of 2019, Simon Firth documents, dissects, and discusses the locations for:
The films “Diamonds Are Forever“, “Never Say Never Again” and “GoldenEye“.
The books: “Role of Honour” and “Forever and a Day“
The residences of Sir Sean Connery, Sir Roger Moore and David Niven.
The Cannes Film Festival and the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel.
