| A villa in Bordighera, Italy |
As you travel along the Mediterranean coast from France to Italy the French Riviera becomes the Riviera dei Fiori, or “coast of flowers”. You leave behind Menton, with its famous microclimate, and arrive in the Ligurian border town of Ventimiglia in the province of Imperia. Hillsides that in France are covered in concrete are choc-a-bloc full of greenhouses here. Further west is San Remo, the city that each year sends blooms to Vienna’s Musikverein hall as decoration for its famed New Year’s Day concert.
