Description:The French Riviera--a magic name, conjuring up the most fabulous and elegant resort in the world. In this highly personal yet panoramic view, Roderick Cameron explores the myths and legends that have surrounded this coastline for centuries. He takes us behind the scenes from ancient times to modern. He traces the fascinating history of the prehistoric tribes who peopled the South of France, the Greek settlement, the Roman conquest, and he highlights one of the great achievements of the French culture--the Provencal Romanesque. He looks at the coast through the eyes of well-known visitors: Smollett in eighteenth-century Nice; the intrepid English travellers of the nineteenth-century; the naturalists and invalids who were increasingly drawn by the profuse flora and the fine climate. He also takes the reader on a guided tour of the houses of the famous habitues of this century, amongst them Somerset Maugham, Coco Chanel and Greta Garbo. Althought born in New York and largely brought up in England, Mr. Cameron has spent many years in the St. Jean Cap Ferrat, and knows this coast and people well. He recalls the idyllic Riviera of his childhood (the era of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Tender is the Night).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
