London to Monte Carlo: Part 1
Armed with his 1913 railway guide, Michael Portillo follows the most popular Edwardian route through France. He makes his first stop in Paris.
Michael Portillo embarks on a railway adventure which takes him across the heart of Europe. Steered by his 1913 railway guide, Michael journeys through a prosperous prewar Europe of emperors, kings, pomp and elegance. This early 20th-century handbook opened up an exotic world to the Edwardian tourist. Leaving London behind, Michael follows the most popular route of the Edwardian traveller through France. His first stop is Paris where he absorbs the atmosphere of La Belle 脡poque, before travelling south to the Cote d'Azur.
