In 1956, Charlie Chaplin brought his family to the Villa Lo Scoglietto in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. He was visiting the Riviera, intending to buy a home to escape the noise of a shooting range near his house in Vevey. In this cheerful outdoor gathering, Chaplin, in a light grey suit, smiles warmly at a young woman in a traditional dress. Other family members stand near a two-toned car, the scene framed by a wall covered in vibrant bougainvillea and a foreground bouquet of red gladioli.
