"Wintering in the Riviera" by William James Miller is a travel account written in the late 19th century. This work details the experiences of the author, who traveled through the Riviera while accompanying his wife for health reasons, sharing practical advice and observations during their journey from England through France and Italy. The narrative is enriched with insights into places like Cannes, Nice, and Mentone, combining personal anecdotes with useful travel tips. The opening of the book introduces the author's motivations for traveling—the health of his wife—and establishes the context of their trips to various European locations. It outlines the author’s intention to document their experiences and offer practical tips for others considering wintering in the Riviera. He reflects on the vast changes in travel since his earlier experiences, highlighting the ease and speed introduced by railways. The tone is informative, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of many aspects of travel, including local customs, conveniences, difficulties, and the rich tapestry of landscapes and culture they encountered.
