Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Written in French. New, still in shrink-wrap. In May 2008, the Hotel de La Ponche, the smallest and most secret of the four stars in Saint-Tropez, will celebrate its seventieth anniversary. In this story of memories, Simone Duckstein takes the reader by the hand and takes him into a mythical place, a modest fisherman's bar transformed, thanks to the fierce will of Marguerite Quindici, into an island refuge, into an emotional home port, into reinvented family home. The rooms multiplied, Annabel Buffet, Juliette Greco, Daniel Gelin, Boris Vian... Then, later, Francoise Sagan, chose some of them to live out moments of their lives, their loves and sometimes their disillusionments. Story of an old family from Saint-Tropez, the Quindici, story of a little girl, Simone, who takes a surprised and very personal look at this world of carefree and famous adults, love story too, between Simone and the painter Jacques Cordier, which will end tragically. The years have passed, Simone has taken over the management of L'Hotel de La Ponche and continues to transmit a certain art of living, a Provencal identity which is and will remain the secret soul of Saint-Tropez. A story of memories where anecdotes, sensations and emotions intertwine. Endearing characters, famous or not, another look at the history of Saint-Tropez. Seventy candles around a book, a nice way to pay tribute to all those who contributed to the success of the Hotel de La Ponche!
