- French Riviera "Belle Epoque" -
In the XVIIIth, wealthy members of the English aristocracy
were the first to discover the virtues of the French Riviera 
in winter. Its mildness was soon to attract the nobility of
all Europe. So all the elegant resorts in XIXth were dedicated
to frivolity, sumptuousness and pleasure.
Today we still have testimonials in a life style that will remain
in the Cote d’Azur heritage !
