Sun-kissed Shores of Eden Roc: A Photographic Snapshot of Inter-War Era Sun Worshippers on the French Riviera This evocative black-and-white photograph, captured by an unnamed photographer for the Illustrated London News in 1930, transports us back in time to the sun-drenched shores of Eden Roc at Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera. A favourite haunt of wealthy British holidaymakers during the inter-war years, Eden Roc was renowned for its exclusive, luxurious atmosphere and the emergence of a new trend: suntanning. The image showcases a group of sunbathers, their bodies sprawled out on the pebbly beach, their faces turned towards the warm, golden sun. The women, dressed in fashionable two-piece swimsuits, are artfully arranged, their parasols shielding them from the sun's more intense rays. The men, clad in swim trunks and straw hats, lounge nearby, their eyes closed in contentment as they soak up the sun's rejuvenating energy. The azure waters of the Mediterranean shimmer in the background, reflecting the clear, cloudless sky above. The rocky coastline, dotted with pine trees, adds a rugged, natural beauty to the scene. The elegant villas and grand hotels that lined the Côte d'Azur can be glimpsed in the distance, a testament to the opulence and sophistication of this exclusive holiday destination. As the sun begins to set, casting long shadows across the beach, the sunbathers pack up their belongings, their skin glowing with a healthy, sun-kissed glow. The day's activities come to an end, but the allure of Eden Roc and the French Riviera remains, drawing visitors from around the world to this sun-drenched paradise.
