The French Riviera in Winter: A Haven for Health and Rejuvenation (1887) Turn the pages of this double-spread from the Illustrated London News and embark on a visual journey to the French Riviera, a winter wonderland that beckoned British travellers seeking health and relaxation during the late 19th century. The first image reveals the breathtaking panorama of Monaco and Monte Carlo, their grandeur undiminished even in the winter months. The iconic Casino of Monte Carlo, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. Further along the coast, the picturesque town of Menton, with its vibrant gardens and charming architecture, invites visitors to indulge in a tranquil retreat. The rugged cliffs of Eze, crowned by its medieval castle, offer a dramatic contrast to the serene beauty of the nearby beaches. The Corniche, a stunning coastal road, winds its way through the towns of Beaulieu, Villefranche, and Nice, revealing breathtaking vistas of the azure waters and the lush, green hillsides. The elegant promenade of Nice, with its palm trees and elegant buildings, is a favourite among winter visitors seeking a touch of sophistication. The healing properties of the Riviera's mild climate and mineral-rich waters had long been known, attracting visitors to health resorts such as Hyères, Grasse, and La Turbie. These towns, nestled among the hills and boasting stunning views of the coastline, offered a sanctuary for those in search of rest and rejuvenation. As you explore these images, allow yourself to be transported back in time to an era when the French Riviera was a haven for those seeking a winter escape, a place where the beauty of the landscape and the promise of health and relaxation drew visitors from all corners of Europe.
