La Turbie, France - General View and the Dogs Head: A Panoramic Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases a breathtaking general view of the picturesque French village of La Turbie, nestled in the Alps Maritimes region. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the charm and allure of this historic town that has remained largely unchanged over the decades. At the heart of the scene lies the imposing ruins of the ancient Roman monument, the Trophée des Alpes, also known as the Dogs Head or Tête de Chien. This monument, built in 8 BC to commemorate the victory of Augustus Caesar over the Alpine tribes, stands proudly on the cliffside, its distinctive shape resembling the head of a dog, as depicted in this photograph. The panoramic view extends beyond the monument, revealing the quaint houses and narrow streets of La Turbie, with their red-tiled roofs and wrought-iron balconies. The lush greenery of the surrounding hills and the clear blue sky add to the idyllic setting, creating a scene that is as enchanting as it is timeless. The Righi Hotel, a popular lodging establishment during the early 1900s, can be seen in the lower right corner of the photograph. The hotel, with its elegant facade and inviting appearance, would have provided travelers with a comfortable respite during their journey through the French Riviera. This photograph, with its stunning panoramic view of La Turbie and its iconic Dogs Head, offers a captivating window into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded within this charming village over the centuries.
