The French Riviera, located between Saint-Tropez and the Italian border, became prominent in the 19th century when British elites vacationed there for its pleasant winters. Notable figures like Queen Victoria and Hollywood stars such as Tom Hanks have since frequented the region. The artistic scene blossomed in the 1890s with artists like Paul Signac and Henri Matisse embracing the unique light and colors of the Côte d'Azur. From the 1920s onwards, the area transformed into a hub for summer tourists and bohemian culture, now housing museums dedicated to esteemed artists, solidifying its status beyond tourism into an artistic capital.
The French Riviera's allure began in the 19th century with British nobility, evolving over time into a cultural hub for artists from Paul Signac to Henri Matisse.
By the 1970s, iconic figures like Picasso and Helmut Newton shaped the Riviera's artistic legacy, further establishing its reputation beyond just a tourist destination.
