About This Book

A travel narrative collects automobile journeys and excursions across Provence and the Mediterranean Riviera, offering descriptive sketches of provincial towns, marshes, coastal vistas, and mountain backcountry. It moves through Arles and its surroundings, the Camargue and Étang de Berre, Marseilles and its harbor, and the coastal sequence from Toulon through Hyères, St. Tropez, Fréjus, Cannes, Antibes, Grasse, Nice, Monaco, and Menton. The writing emphasizes picturesque and topographical detail, local color and lesser-known byways, augmented by on-location illustrations and practical observations for travelers seeking sites beyond fashionable resorts.
