Homeward Bound - The Rush from the Riviera
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Snapshot of Edwardian Travel and Mass Exodus from the French Coast in 1910 This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in European travel history. Taken in the Spring of 1910, it depicts a crowded train making its way through the lush, green landscape, as travellers return from their holidays on the French Riviera. The Cote d'Azur, with its sun-soaked beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant atmosphere, had become an increasingly popular destination for tourists seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The image reveals a scene of frenetic activity, as passengers jostle for space in the narrow corridors and cramped compartments. Dining cars were filled to capacity, necessitating two sittings for meals. Those fortunate enough to secure a berth in one of the sleeper compartments were forced to share their limited space with fellow travellers. The bunks, designed for one, were now home to two or more individuals, each trying to get some rest amidst the chaos. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the mass exodus from the French Riviera during this period. The sheer volume of travellers returning home at the same time created a sense of urgency and urgency, with passengers eager to secure their place on the train and begin their journey back to their respective countries. This image, taken in 1910, offers a glimpse into the Edwardian era of travel, when railways connected people to new experiences and adventures, and the allure of the French Riviera drew visitors from all corners of Europe.
