DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Winter at Mentone The geological and botanical resources of the great oolitic mountain chain, which bounds the land view from Mentone on every side, form an abundant field for research. Many strange mountain peaks and rock caverns still remain unvisited and unknown. But, above all, the neighbourhood of Mentone 'will afford employment to the painter, whether he prefers the pines and orange-groves of the sunny shore, the dark sculptured streets and marble balconies of the old Riviera towns, or the wild 'position of the ruined strongholds, in the heart of the neighbouring moun tains.
