A
bit of History
Near
the end of the 19th century, nobility as well as wealthy and
influential families from England, Russia and Germany discovered
the attractions the Riviera had to offer.
One travelled with one of the Grand Express international locomotives, for
example famous Petersburg - Warsaw - Vienna - Cannes Express to Bordighera
throughout Europe to the coastal shores.
Many prominent guests gathered, including the British Prime Minister
Lord Russel and the Italian Queen Margherita.
Memorable
events which left culturally significant marks.
The
Riviera beckons the guest to linger, thanks to the entrancing
architecture Masterpieces from the 17th and 18th centuries as
well as evidence of 19th century architecture.
Museums
and galleries, theater and music, beautiful gardens and parks,
popular traditions, markets, good food and sport, beaches and
fun can all be found there. And last, but not least the Casino
in Monte Carlo, Nice or Sanremo.
