Lifar, 53, left the choice of weapons to the Marquis, 73. The latter opted for the sword and trained with a fencing master in his apartment on Quai Voltaire, while Serge Lifar did the same at the Volney club and on a Paris rooftop overlooking the Opera. The day before the duel, after the Cuevas Ballet troupe, his wife, and his friends begged him to renounce, the Marquis quietly left his home to spend the night with his friend José Luis de Vilallonga, a Grandee of Spain, actor, and writer. Félix Valoussière, director of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, would be one of his witnesses, alongside Jean-Marie Le Pen, then a member of the National Assembly. Lifar, for his part, had chosen Max Bozzoni and Lucien Duthoit, both dancers at the Opéra. "I don't want to kill him, and he doesn't want to kill me either... But we must fight to conform to 'good manners,'" the Marquis declared.
