1892 Alpes Maritimes Map

The French Riviera, known in France as the Côte d'Azur is definitely one of the most iconic French travel destination. It encompasses the extreme Eastern coast on the Mediterranean sea, stretching from the Cap Roux to Menton, at the Italian border and includes the cities of Antibes, Cannes and Nice. It also encloses Monaco.
This gorgeous little engraving shows a delicately colorized map of that beautiful French department: the Alpes Maritimes. As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. The capital city of this one is the city of Nice.
