A high-angle view from circa 1957 captures Monte Carlo Beach, where a wide crescent of sand sweeps along a calm bay. Built into the rocky coastline is a large hotel, while perched atop the densely wooded hill in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is the stately Villa La Vigie. Constructed in 1902 for Sir William Ingram, the villa would later become the celebrated Côte d'Azur residence of designer Karl Lagerfeld, who created collections for Chanel within its walls.
