Originally from Scotland, Lucy de Montgomery was the great grand daughter of the Swedish miniaturist Hall and the grand daughter of the baron Michaux, chief general of the First Empire, arms companion of Bernadotte. Very close to the empress, she composes Ode à l’imératrice d’Autrische engraved later on the monument in her memory on the Cap Martin, following her murder by an anarchist in 1897. Georges de Montgomery did not have much leisure time in his Azurienne villa he disappeared, prematurely in 1900. His widow no longer lives in the Mas d’Aréthuse, as she prefers to reside in her Venetian palace, Semitecolo. In tribute to her disappeared widow, she writes homage, names immortalié which had great success in Italy and obtained from the Italian press the golden award for literature. Lucy de Montgomery rented the Mas d’Aréthuse for several years to the Princess Ouroussoff, the wife of the Russian ambassador of Paris, before putting it up for sale.
