Russian Dolls in Saint-Tropez, Paperback Book, By: Alain Brion

Saint-Tropez, a small fishing village, once immortalized by the paintings of Signac and other 19th century painters from the eponymous school, has transformed in 50 years into an unmissable meeting place for the world "jet set".

Without an obligatory stopover in this magical little port, for at least a few days, the adults of this world (or at least those who believe they are), consider that their holidays would not be successful.

It is in this magical setting that the sea bathes for several kilometers, that Alain Brion, on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of Club 55, one of the mythical beaches of this pearl of the Mediterranean, paints a colorful intrigue, and full of twists and turns. Against a background of blackmail and criminal threats, he shows, with talent, how oil and other contracts are tied and unwound at the same time as sentimental intrigues, without forgetting to describe this holiday atmosphere in which he lived, for more than half a century, uncompromisingly depicting a society he knows better than anyone.

The time is long gone when Brigitte Bardot could rest in Saint-Tropez between two film shoots. Russian emirs and oligarchs now anchor their nearby yachts, douse themselves in champagne and land the contracts of the century under the lustful eyes of a golden youth trying to forget the crisis, copying Russian dolls.
