Americans and the Making of the Riviera (Paperback)

Led by Cole Porter in the 1920s, Americans demonstrated that the
best season to visit the French Riviera was not the winter, as had
been the practice, but the summer. With this shift, Americans
became the dominant shapers of tourism on the Riviera in the 20th
century, yet the American achievement in revolutionizing the
economy of the South of France is largely unsung. This insightful
history details the American influence on the Riviera and the
contributions of several individuals. It pays particular attention
to such writers and artists as Edith Wharton, Gerald Murphy, Henry
Clews, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, whose work drew
energy from their stays in the Riviera and in turn helped to cement
an idyllic image of the Riviera in the American popular
consciousness.
