Excerpt from Along the Rivieras of France Italy
Tue Riviera may be described as a collection of jewels strung together at irregular intervals on a rough mountain chain. Some are genuine antiques, others are overlaid with modern workmanship, and they vary much in size and shape, but the metaphor holds good nevertheless. That one end of the chain should receive only scant attention from English people seems a mistake when it possesses some priceless gems, and even a pendant of unique charm in the Portofino promontory.
