Abstract
Marcel Bonnemain de Kerolyr was born in 1873 and became a talented professional violinist. He married a singer and acting as accompanist to his wife, toured Europe in the period before the 1914–18 War, even giving a recital before Tzar Nicholas H and the Tzarina. Between tours, they lived in a mansion on the Promenade des Anglais at Nice, and where they entertained a lot. It was in leaving their home, and under their very eyes, that the American dancer Isadora Duncan was the victim of a fatal accident in 1927.
