The South of France—East Half
This volume of C. B. Black's guidebooks covers the eastern half of southern France in the manner of the late nineteenth century, with railways, roads and mountain passes, distances, hotel ratings, maps and town plans. It begins with practical information on the Channel crossings and the French railways, then follows the direct route from Paris to the Riviera by way of Dijon, Lyons and Marseilles, with excursions to Auxerre, Vézelay and the source of the Seine, and continues along the coast through Hyères, Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Menton. Later sections turn inland to the Alps and to the volcanic country of Auvergne around Clermont and Mont-Dore. It is a period document as much as a guide. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
