Rambles on the Riviera

A travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work offers a personal account of the author's journeys through the picturesque and culturally rich region of Provence and the French Riviera, providing insights not only into the famous resort areas but also lesser-known locales that often escape the typical tourist path. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the author's intent—providing a record of sights and experiences encountered while traveling ''en automobile.'' It emphasizes a plea for exploration beyond popular spots like Monte Carlo, encouraging visits to the historical cities and beautiful landscapes of Provence, including Arles, Avignon, and Marseille. The narrative intertwines history with personal observations, highlighting the region's uniqueness, scenic beauty, and the cultural richness that deserves to be appreciated by travelers seeking a more profound connection to this enchanting part of France.
