About This Book

A travel and historical survey of the Mediterranean coastline from Marseilles to Savona, the book combines geology, climate, and botanical description with sketches of towns, monuments, and local customs. It recounts ancient and medieval episodes, notes Roman and later traces, and offers concise biographies and anecdotes tied to chapels, castles, and coastal villages. Practical travel impressions and assessments of resorts, routes, and seasonal life appear alongside discussions of landscape formation, the mistral wind, and horticulture. Illustrated vignettes and episodic histories aim to orient winter visitors and general readers to the region's scenery, architecture, and folklore.
