Capt’n Max in France.                                                                         Collage: Susan Block.

by Dr. Susan Block.

Travels with Max were always a great adventure, especially in France. From the chic museums of Paris to the hot yachts of St. Tropez, from the Hollywood parties of Cannes and fine cafés of Toulon to the libertine clubs of Toulouse, my darling Max loved France. Though he was born in Italy, Max preferred the laissez-faire approach of the French. That might have had something to do with him being unjustly pursued at the time under false charges that were eventually dropped. Beyond that, he adored the art, architecture, cuisine, French poodles and sexy French ladies on the nude beaches of the French Riviera – Ooh la la!  He also got a kick out of being mistaken for Jack Nicholson (when he shaved) and Sean Connery (when he didn’t). Check out the way he holds my feet like he’s steering a ship into Cannes Harbor…

And come with me on a trip to France with Captain Max, aka Prince Maximillian Rudolf Leblovic Lobkowicz di Filangieri (11/8/2025 – 5/13/2025) – my bon vivant husband of 33 years – in collage #3 of my “Max Collage Collection,” assembled with love, tears and photos from Max’s beautiful life and times in France. 

Ah oui, la vie est belle…
