Sleep Your Way from London Fogs to Riviera Sunshine: The Blissful Goal of the Blue Train - A World of Sunshine in Which to Awaken After a Few Hours of Comfortable Journeying: The Promenade at Cannes, 1922 The photograph captures the allure and glamour of the French Riviera in the roaring twenties, as depicted in this iconic image of The Promenade at Cannes by renowned photographer, Steven Spurrier. The scene unfolds on the famous Croisette, where smart society basks in the warm sunshine, a stark contrast to the London fogs left behind. The Blue Train, an iconic mode of luxury travel, had conveyed these fortunate travellers from the chilly British winter to this sun-kissed haven. The Promenade at Cannes, with its elegant palm trees and pristine white buildings, is a testament to the French Riviera's charm and appeal. The vibrant energy of the season is palpable, as people stroll along the promenade, enjoying the sunshine and the company of their fellow travellers. The 1920s, a decade of decadence and excitement, is beautifully encapsulated in this image, with its fashionable attire, sophisticated air, and the promise of a holiday filled with relaxation and enjoyment. The French Riviera, with its stunning coastline, crystal-clear waters, and glamorous lifestyle, has long been a popular destination for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Blue Train, with its comfortable journeying and luxurious accommodations, made this idyllic world easily accessible to those willing to make the journey. This photograph serves as a reminder of the allure and appeal of the French Riviera in the 1920s, a time when the world seemed to pause and indulge in the simple pleasures of life.
