The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, with the Douaniers solemnly watching over their post. The architecture in the background hints at a bygone era, adding to the allure of this vintage photograph.
Located on the stunning Cote d'Azur, also known as the French Riviera, Menton has long been a crossroads for travelers passing between France and Italy. This photo serves as a visual reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that have taken place along this border for centuries.
