sea. 1French-Riviera will allow you to discover
the many facets of the French Riviera: (history, museum, real
estate, bank, business activity..) |
The
French Riviera, stretches from St
Tropez to Menton,
in the Alpes-Maritimes. And yet, the real French Riviera,
the one that has delighted crowned heads of state, artists
and celebrities since the 18th century, begins only at Saint-Tropez,
from where it unfolds over three hundred kilometres of jagged
coastline through the Alpes-Maritimes as far as the  Italian
border, highlighted by such gems as Nice,
Cannes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence
and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
The story of the French Riviera began in 1750, well before
the County of Nice
was assigned to France in 1860. Nice's mild winters began
to attract the British aristocracy, who travelled to the coast
to treat their respiratory ailments. Very soon, with the arrival
of the railway line in Nice,
in 1864, and Menton,
in 1869, the "winter crowd" of British, Russians,
Italians and Germans came in ever greater numbers. From 22,000
in 1864, their numbers swelled to 150,000 by 1914. Twenty
years later, the Americans launched the fashion for swimming
in the sea and so Nice
became a famous seaside resort. |
