In Cannes in 1953, Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, and Jimmy Donahue, an heir to the Woolworth estate, walk along a sun-drenched roadside with one of the Windsors' pugs. Although openly gay, Donahue claimed a four-year affair with the Duchess. Vintage cars, including a Citroën Traction Avant and a Peugeot, are parked along the road, which is bordered by a stone retaining wall and dense, leafy trees under the bright sun.
