The Queen's Visit to Cimiez: Grand Hótel de Cimiez, 1895. 'Cimiez, which, has been chosen for the Queen's spring residence, is a charming but comparatively little-known suburb of Nice...A wide modern boulevard leads from the north-eastern end of the town to the hotel which her Majesty has rented. The road ascends gradually between rows of plane-trees through a well-wooded country, dotted here and there with handsome villas, lying picturesquely embedded in olive groves, and bordered on each side with rose hedges, which in the springtime are a mass of fragrant pink blossom. The hotel itself is a comparatively modern building of three low storeys, lying rather back from the road in an old-fashioned garden with winding walks of bamboos, palms, and eucalyptus, the dark foliage of which is thrown into pleasant relief by clumps of orange-trees, bearing at this time a fragrant combination of white blooms and golden fruit...There is no lift in the hotel, and the Queen will be carried in a chair to her apartments on the first floor up a wide easy staircase'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
