Queen Victoria fell in love with the Riviera when she discovered it on her first visit to Menton in 1882 and her enchantment with this 'paradise of nature' endured for almost twenty years. This work is a account that makes a contribution to both our understanding of Victoria's character and personality and our view of the late Victorian period.
