Vintage gallery of the French Riviera

Nice has changed more in fifty years than it did over the past two centuries : its history advances, but its past remains. Gilletta is one of the oldest publishing houses in France. Established in 1880 by Jean Gilletta, who at the time was one of the first professional photographers, the Gilletta archives possess an iconographic collection of several thousand images depicting the French Riveria.
