(Minor tear in the top right-hand corner).
( * ) - HOTEL du MIDI: built in 1860 on the edge of the former Promenade du Midi, now known as the Promenade du Soleil. THE GRAND HOTEL of MENTON: built at the end of the 19th century. – In 1888, the owner of the Grand Hotel purchased the Hôtel du Midi.
The two hotels, linked by a large shared garden, thus formed a single complex known as the ‘Grand Hôtel de Menton et du Midi’.
Hotel operations ceased in the mid-20th century to make way for residential blocks of flats (Résidence du Midi and the ‘Le Vendôme’ building).
