    Product information

    Slim Aarons immortalized the bronzed bodies that peppered the beaches between 1960 and 1980, living proof of the golden era of the French Riviera. The period was defined by newfound sexual liberation, the economic boom and a carefree jet-set with their sights set on unashamed hedonism. From the private clubs to the dream villas of the Mediterranean.

    This mesmerizing piece of art transports you to the sun-soaked summer of 1958 and captures a moment of sheer sophistication and leisure as holidaymakers gracefully waterski from the iconic pier of the Carlton Hotel in Cannes.

    The luxury Carlton Hotel was built in 1911 and has been a fixture of the Cannes landscape ever since. The hotel is known for its stunning Belle Epoque architecture, its luxurious accommo- dations, and its prime location on the Boulevard de la Croisette, just steps from the Mediterranean Sea. The Carlton Hotel has played host to countless celebrities and high-profile guests over the years, and it remains one of the most iconic hotels in the world. The place continues to attract summer guests with its beautiful bright suites and its beach where you can sun- bathe and dive from a pontoon into the sea.
