EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the golden age of travel with this photograph of The Cote D'Azur Express at Monte Carlo station in 1904. The train, a marvel of engineering and luxury, stood proudly at the platform, ready to whisk travellers away on a journey to the French Riviera. The Cote D'Azur Express was a daily service that ran in conjunction with the 9pm Continent Express from London. It departed from Paris Gare de Lyon at 9am, making its way along the stunning coastline towards the Mediterranean Sea. The train's itinerary included stops at Cannes, Nice, Beaulieu, Monte Carlo, and Menton. As passengers boarded the train, they were treated to high standards of comfort, a far cry from the cramped and uncomfortable conditions of ordinary trains of the time. The luxurious interior featured plush seats, elegant decor, and attentive staff to cater to every need. The journey south was a leisurely affair, with the train arriving at its last destination, Menton, at 11:45pm. The scenic route took travellers through picturesque villages, rolling hills, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era when travel was an adventure, a journey to be savoured and enjoyed. The Cote D'Azur Express represents a time when the world was a little smaller, and the journey was just as important as the destination.
