Description | Cannes and the Esterel Mountains, France |
Details |
"The fortified hill-towns were the chief characteristic of the Riviera... Even Cannes and Nice and Mentone were once only hill-towns for defence... All towns built on hills are beautiful, but, outside Italy herself, there are none more beautiful than these until we reach the land of the Turk."
