High Season in Nice by Robert Kanigel
Founded by the Greeks some time after the 6th century BC, Nice has borne the tread of Roman legionnaires and Italy-bound Englishmen on the Grand Tour and now has tourism at its heart. This book explores how tourism evolved, how Nice and the Riviera became what they are, and the price they paid.
'This book is full of the sound of people being happy' STIMES 'Kanigel has delved deeply into the archives to unearth a wealth of fascinating stories' S.TEL. 'Kanigel unfolds the story with a panache and a conviviality worthy of the city at its best' NY TIMES 'A fascintating, well-researched and lively account ... Sometimes, when reading this book, you can almost feel the sun on your face and sometimes a slight chill as it goes down' IRELAND ON SUNDAY
