Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

Description

Roquebrune Cap Martin presents the Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel’s Olympic-length seawater pool in August 1981, where terracotta-striped cabanas and a legendary diving board frame fifty meters of heated Mediterranean luxury. Pine trees shade the terrazzo decking while palm fronds punctuate the horizon, creating that singular Franco-Monégasque atmosphere where athletic grandeur meets leisurely afternoons by the water. The Art Deco architecture, with its curved corners and glass-tiled basin, stands as testament to beach club culture at its most refined, a place where the pool itself becomes destination.

This print delivers the sensation of membership to an exclusive world where afternoon swims become social events and positioning around the water matters as much as the Mediterranean view beyond. Your guests will recognize the sophisticated restraint of displaying Roquebrune Cap Martin – not just another beach scene, but the pool that defined Riviera standards for generations. The photograph brings architectural pedigree and social cachet to contemporary interiors, suggesting you understand the difference between a swimming pool and an institution that shaped summer society.

Here Slim Aarons documented more than luxury; he captured the precise moment when French sophistication met Monaco’s gleaming ambition at their geographic border. The image positions you among those who appreciate design heritage and poolside protocol, making any wall a portal to the beach club that entertained Europe’s tastemakers. Slim Aarons understood this was not merely a pool but a stage for summer’s most important performances, where being seen mattered as much as the swim itself.

Available in photo lustre or matte finish, professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood to complement your decor. Secure this piece of Riviera history before another summer passes without it. Transform your living room into a private cabana with an incomparable view.
