A Quiet Corner in Peille, France: A Glance into the Past This photograph transports us back in time to the charming commune of Peille, nestled on a rocky outcrop between Monaco and Menton in the Alpes Maritimes department of south-eastern France, circa 1920s. The black and white image invites us to explore the tranquility and heritage of this picturesque corner of France. The narrow, cobblestone street leads us upwards, with its ancient steps and archway, framing the scene and guiding our gaze towards the quiet corner. The quaint, stone houses cling to the hillside, their tall, narrow windows revealing glimpses of daily life. The lantern on the wall adds a warm, inviting glow, casting long shadows on the uneven pavement. A column, adorned with intricate carvings, stands proudly at the corner, a testament to the rich history and heritage of this commune. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the absence of modern distractions, allowing us to truly appreciate the simple beauty of this quiet corner in Peille. This photograph, a precious piece of history, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded in this charming corner of France. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a reminder of the timeless allure and enduring beauty of the French Riviera.
