The French Riviera is not limited to the clichés of its beaches, private yachts, and luxury hotels. For those who know how to leave behind the beaten paths, the Riviera is full of surprising details and curious sights. It will even amaze its inhabitants as well as visitors who think they know it well.A game of pétanque played with square boules, an astonishing aerial well, stained-plastic windows, a marble bench built in memory of the Queen of England's haemophiliac son, the instruments of the Passion of Christ, a cannon that fires cherry stones, a good-luck pig, a mysterious pyramid, a monument to secret agents, an entire village that "moved house', a gas mask for horses, a statue sculpted by Saint Luke, a chapel showing the dead rising from their tombs, a trapdoor in the nave of a church that opens onto a rushing torrent, a restaurant in an Orient Express railway car, Babar's beach, Tintin's Black Island, and Sleeping Beauty's chateau, a chance to admire the Riviera's first pair of naked breasts, or spend the night sleeping in a tree... Une villa privée tatouée par Cocteau, un singe qui rappelle des expériences douteuses pendant les années 1930, la pétanque avec des boules carrées, un surprenant puits aérien, des vitraux en plastique, un banc en marbre pour le fils hémophile de la reine d'Angleterre, un canon qui crache des noyaux de cerises, un cochon porte-bonheur, une mystérieuse pyramide, un hommage aux agents secrets, un très curieux palindrome, un masque à gaz pour cheval, un caïman dédié à la Vierge Marie, une statue sculptée par saint Luc, des ressuscités qui sortent de leur caveau, une trappe dans la nef d'une église qui donne sur un torrent vertigineux, un musée ésotérique, un restaurant dans un wagon de l'Orient-Express, la plage de Babar et l'île Noire de Tintin, admirer les premiers seins nus de la Côte d'Azur, dormir dans un arbre... La Côte d'Azur ne se limite pas aux clichés de ses plages, des yachts privés et des hôtels de luxe. Pour qui sait sortir des sentiers battus, la Côte d'Azur regorge de détails surprenants et de curiosités. Elle saura encore étonner ses habitants ainsi que ses visiteurs qui croyaient bien la connaître.
