The Riviera was a place where old world charm and new world money combinedto create an atmosphere of perpetual gaiety. Villa was aport of short boat rides, water skiing and paddle boating, a cheerful people dealing in tourism, and sun. Five miles to West of Villa is Nice, considered the capital of the French Riviera. Its famous pebble beaches and extraordinary sightseeing stretch in front of Promenase de Anelais, the wide boulevard along the Mediterranean. To the East of Villefranche is the Principality of Monaco, slightly more than two miles long and one mile wideg or about the size of New York's Central Park. Yet in Monaco are castle and home of Princess Grace, the cathedral, the port, and of course the casino of Monte Carlo. Our stop in Villefranche was a welcome one.
