Fred Astaire and Claire Luce in The Gay Divorce 18.FABULOUS TIMES, PLACES AND PEOPLE. BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. GAY PARIS IN THE 20s and 30s: Background, People, Places, Personalities, Hospitality, Restaurants, Food, Wine, Pleasure, Style, Fashion, Arts, Poetry, Music and Adventure. According to Maximillien de Lafayette. Mon Dieu! To be and live in Paris during "Les annees folles", between the end of 1917 and 1934, especially if you were an eccentric artist, an intellectual adventurer, a frou-frou femme fatale, a genius or an independently wealthy American, willing to spend a lot of money on arts, dating and women. Ask Madonna, Paulette Attie, Penelope de Vassy and Louise de Chambertin. Really "real" America's la crème de la crème was there. The "real" American high society, the privileged class, the snobs (Although it was too early for the Americans to know how to be a snob), les bourgeois, wealth filthy characters, the hustlers with a style, the scandalous adventurous women, the schmoozer and the cruisers, the handsome gigolos, the champagne, the caviar, the kisses and the misses, sex, the drama and all the "chic" pleasures of the era. Hemingway was here. Paramour Stein too. Why Paris - what made everybody want to come here and create, and drink, and dance, and paint, and write stories or invent them? Women? obnoxious, over-cultured and over-sophisticated Frenchmen? Bubbly champagne? Sinfully good wine? Nice plat de fromage? A nostalgia? A fantasy? A new social, political and artistic era? A modern Parisian revolution? Yes! Yes! All of the above! WORLD HOSPITALITY MAGAZINE
