A Chic Retreat on the French Riviera: Eden Roc, Antibes, 1932 This enchanting photograph captures the essence of the French Riviera's allure and sophistication, as seen from the vantage point of the famed Eden Roc resort in Antibes. The rocky coastal outcrop, once an unassuming natural feature, has been transformed into a fashionable bathing and sunbathing complex. The crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean lap against the rugged shoreline, providing a stunning backdrop for the swimming pool and diving boards that have been carved into the rock. The image is a testament to the glamour and leisurely pursuits of the smart set who flocked to the French Riviera during the 1930s. Sunbathing, once a novelty, had become a popular pastime, and the famous orange mattresses strewn across the beach were a symbol of a tan acquired through the sun's rays. In the foreground, a game of backgammon is in progress, a favorite pastime for many a vacationer seeking a respite from the sun. Eden Roc, with its chic ambiance and unparalleled beauty, has remained a beloved destination for those seeking a touch of Riviera glamour. This photograph, taken in 1932, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of elegance and relaxation, inviting us to imagine the pleasures of a sun-soaked holiday on the French Riviera.
