Les Belles Rives Review

Lovingly restored to 1930s glamour, this fabled landmark proves that what's old is new again, as France's stylish young set follow in the footsteps of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gerald Murphy to make this endearingly neoclassique place one of their latest favorites. Not far from the onetime villa of Gerald and Sara Murphy—those Roaring Twenties millionaires who devoted their lives to proving the maxim "living well is the best revenge"—the Belles Rives became the home-away-from-home for literary giant F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda (chums of the Murphys). The gastronomic restaurant's cuisine is innovative; the fixed menu is good value. Dine on the terrace on a fine summer night, with the sea lapping below and stars twinkling in the velvety Mediterranean sky. There's no pool, but happily the private beach is just steps away.
