Now a bit of history. Its beautiful name is due to Stefan Liejaru, the writer who created the book with the same name "Côte d'Azur", published in 1888, where he, inspired by the extraordinary landscapes of this French land, described these places. After that, the name of the work was firmly established on this coast.
The English call this place the French Riviera and connect it more likely with Manton. It is worth noting that representatives of different nationalities prefer to choose their place for recreation. For example, Russians seek to get to Cannes and Nice, the French consider Bohemian Antibes and Saint Tropez, and the English, as already noted, are Manton. By the way, the word "Riviera" does not come from the French language, but from the Italian.
