Riassunto

Queen Victoria fell in love with the Riviera when she discovered it on her first visit to Menton in 1882. Her subsequent visits helped to transform the French Riviera, furthering its discovery by royalty and aristocrats. This book paints a charming portrait of Victoria and her dealings with officials, statesmen, and the constant stream of visiting crowned heads to the Riviera. Based on original research in the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle, the book includes first-time access to the Queen's journals.
