Côte dâÇÖAzur: Exploring the James Bond connections in the South of FranceáThe allure of the French Riviera, or the Côte dâÇÖAzur as it is variously known, needs little or no introduction.áThe 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.áBut just what are they, and in how many forms?áFrom his time living in Villefranche sur Mer in the summer of 2019, author Simon Firth documents, dissects and discusses the locations for:The Films, Diamonds Are Forever, Never Say Never Again and GoldenEyeThe Books, ROLE OF HONOUR and FOREVER AND A DAYThe Residences of Sir Sean Connery, Sir Roger Moore and David NivenThe Cannes Film Festival and the Carlton Intercontinental HotelAnd an unfinished 1958 version of CASINO ROYALE and the âÇÖWhat If..âÇÖ locations.áTo widen the context and to add colour, the Riviera Life and its people accompany the journey with eye-catching imagery, in the definitive account of James Bond in the Côte dâÇÖAzur.áWith a Foreword written by Gareth Owen, Sir Roger MooreâÇÖs former Personal Assistant.
