  Du pays de Caux à la Vendée, histoire et généalogie des Le Bailly de La Falaise et de leurs alliances du XVème siècle à nos jours, by Geoffroy Guerry (Boulogne-Billancourt, France: Guerry–de Saint Germain, 2011) was especially helpful in tracing Loulou’s family history. John Vincent’s defunct Charleston Manor website supplied a fund of information on the estate.

  Acknowledgments

  Loulou & Yves benefited immeasurably from the editorial assistance of Felix Bischof in London and Margaux Donnellier, Fallon Mulachy and Carla Seipp in New York. Si
dney Bitter-Larkin, Rachael Boychuk, Juliette Breindel, Eloise Feuchtwanger, Chloe Fontaine, Anne-Lise Franjou, Clare Haugh, Stephanie Herold, Fiona Piccoli, Barbara Ramos, Florence Reidenbach, Lauren Sagamore, Amélie Saint-Marc, Audrey Williams and Katarzyna T. Young also made valuable contributions.

  For their buoying support and enthusiasm, I thank Kendra Daniel, Peter Dobbin, Nadine Frey, Patricia Morrisroe, Zoe Petkanas (lost-and-found daughter of my cousin George, who appeared at precisely the right moment, when I needed a friend, a disinterested steel-trap mind applied to the subject of Loulou, and a title), and Hugo Vickers and Mina Ait El Asri Sarrat, ma petite sœur Roudanaise. I am also grateful to Mary Hyman and, again, to Nadine Frey for their hospitality through the long months of interviews in Paris, as well as to my grande sœur Charentaise, Josette de La Cruz, and her husband, Gérard, for their serial welcome in Provence.

  Gratitude goes, as well, to my attentive readers, Camilla Huey, Mary Hyman and Kurt Thometz.

  Post-interviews, Katell le Bourhis, Nicole Dorier, Christopher Gibbs, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, Jean-Noël Liaut, Carlos Muñoz, Allen Rosenbaum, Violeta Sanchez and Leslie Hayden Sherr never tired of pleas for one last detail.

  I am especially indebted to Annabelle d’Huart for convincing Ricardo Bofill to see me, to André Leon Talley for intervening with Diane von Furstenberg, to Inès de La Fressange for insisting I meet Annabelle d’Huart and to Marie-Dominique Lelièvre for my introduction to Carlos Muñoz.
