EZE - VILLAGE Le Chateau BarlowThe back of this postcard says: Edition La Gigogne Richard inquired at the French Tourist Office about Le Chateau Barlow and received this reply in French. The translation follows.
TranslationThis house belonged between the 12th and 15th Centuries to the noble family of Riquier. It was bought by the American musician Balakovic in 1923. Then it was passed to the Barlow family. Mr. Barlow gave receptions with Prince William of Sweden and the musician Balakovic. The presence of these personages at Eze enabled the village to be opened to tourism and the arts. The house still exists in the village. Mr.Barlow also had built the first and only fountain in the village in 1932. Since 1952 it is the only current of water for the inhabitants. Richard says of the EZE mentioned in the letter. " The web site is worth a visit and shows the centuries old Eze village, which appears to be a craft centre." Richard also received two new watercolor photographs of Le Chateau Barlow from the French Tourist Office.
It has since been learned that Le Chateau Barlow is the same as the House of Samuel L. Barlow Contributed by Richard John Baker |
