The Queen's Holiday Abroad: arrival at Nice on March 15, 1895. Queen Victoria is met by dignitaries at the railway station in Nice. 'Her Majesty arrived at Nice at four o'clock in the afternoon [on] Friday, March 15 - not much fatigued. She was received at the railway-station by General Gebhart, Governor of Nice, M. Henry, Prefect of the Department of the Maritime Alps, the Mayor of Nice, and other French officials, with Prince Louis of Battenberg, Dr. Harris, the British Consul, and Mrs. Harris. A French military escort accompanied her Majesty's carriage through the streets, which were decorated, and on the road to Cimiez, where she entered her temporary residence, the Grand Hotel. The Dowager Duchess Alexandrina of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who is staying at Nice, met the Queen at Cimiez; and Princess Louise, Marchioness of Lorne, who stays at the Villa Liserb, likewise met the Queen, who will not lack the society of several members of the royal family in her sojourn on the Riviera. The Prince of Wales came next day to lunch with the Queen, and visited her Majesty again on Monday, March 18.' From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
