Identity

«La Corinthienne» is a villa in Nice, a house name, not a person (this file sits in people/mentioned by mistake; it belongs under places/residences). Marie lists it among the houses she sees from her window at the Villa Acqua Viva in early 1873: «A gauche le pavillon Acqua Viva, les pavillons Lyons, la grande maison, la Corinthienne, la villa Stirbey, la ex-pension Renoir» (006.0039, 19 June 1873, recalling February-March).

Link with the Boreels

In a dream «J'assistais à l'enterrement de M. Boreel, nous étions dans la Corinthienne, dans une grande salle dont j'ai déjà rêvé (un dîner chez Boreel)» (004.0228, 29 April 1873), and on 26 September 1873 «La Corinthienne est ouverte, les rideaux aux fenêtres, les bougies préparées et au salon, allumées. Je crois que les Boreel sont arrivés» (010.0086). So the Boreel family probably took the Corinthienne for the 1873–74 season (0.7), although in spring 1873 Marie names a «villa Boreel» separately (006.0039, «les villas 57, Boreel, Canepa»).
