About this audio guide
This guide to Juan-les-Pins, the seaside quarter of Antibes near Cannes, goes back to the summer of 1926, when F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald rented a villa on the sea wall. It follows one night of drinking and quarrelling, and the restaurant orchestra that got pulled into it. You'll also meet the family who turned the house into a hotel, and the novel Fitzgerald began under these pines. Best heard on Boulevard Edouard Baudoin, facing the water.
