Nice - Belle Époque

After Nice got connected to the French railway system in 1864 and the station was built (at that time far out), visitors from Britain could now reach Nizza in only 2-3 days. That triggered a real building-boom and within decades, the station was in the middle of the new city. Nearly all buildings constructed during that time are in the "belle-epoque"-style. Nice is a real "belle-epoque"-city. I learned, that around 1910 about 150.000 guests lived here during the winter months.
