{"product_id":"high-season-in-nice-9780316854955","title":"High Season in Nice","description":"\u003cp\u003eNice is the queen of the Cote dAzur. Founded by the Greeks some time after the 6th century BC  it has borne the tread of Roman legionnaires and Italy-bound Englishmen on the Grand Tour as well as Lost Generation literati from Hemingway to Fitzgerald. Since the late 19th century it has been known as a \"pleasure capital\"  and now tourism is its beating heart. But how did this happen? What was it that changed not just Nice or the French Riviera  but our leisure habits as a whole? This is a book about pleasure and escape - about what five months or five days in a strikingly beautiful  foreign place  wrested from lives choked with stress and toil back home  meant to a few wealthy people 250 years ago  and mean to millions more of more modest means today. It is about how modern tourism got the way it did. It is about how Nice and the Riviera became what they are; and about the price they paid to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67931506475061,"sku":"ByrdShop_0316854956","price":346.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780316854955.jpg?v=1794213170","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/high-season-in-nice-9780316854955","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
