Byblos. The ancient city on the Mediterranean coast was a replica of the Middle East at Saint Tropez. Celebrities of the '60s and '70s, from Marlon Brando to Brigitte Bardot, came here frequently. Everyone stopped for lunch or dinner at Pepe Fishing Club, which belonged to Pepe Abed, a famous explorer. Admiral for some, pirate for others, Pepe was a jeweller in love with the depths of the sea, beautiful women and life. Once in Byblos, I couldn't miss it.
