How One French Riviera Town Has Seduced Travellers for Two Thousand Years.
Founded by seafaring Greeks, colonised by Romans, transformed by English aristocrats into an elegant stop on the Grand Tour, the city of Nice has beguiled travellers for two millennia.
Drawing on diaries and newspapers, novels and old photographs, Robert Kanigel weaves a complex tapestry of history, art, escape, delicious gossip and perilous adventure and gives us a unique insight into the charms of the Queen of the Riviera: ever seductive, complex and stylish; dazzling in its light and loveliness.
