In the summer of 1936, before finishing school, he reported on the Olympic Games in Berlin for the famous Swedish sporting paper, Idrottsbladet. He saw war around
Petsamo in Northern Finland in 1943, in Indochina and Korea during the decisive months in 1950 to 1951, and in Algeria. Löfgren was the Paris correspondent for Expressen from 1949 to 1962 and made frequent visits to the Riviera. He then worked for that paper in Berlin, Bonn and Los Angeles. Finally, he ended up in Geneva, writing for The Svenska Dagbladet, Swedish Radio and others. He was president of the Foreign Press Association in Paris from 1959 to 1961 and in Berlin from 1963 to 1965. He has written 20 books, most of them on wine and travel but he always returns to his beloved Riviera, where he has lived since 1983 with his wife,
Marie-Louise.
