Samenvatting:

Inside the French Riviera takes the reader beyond the glossy surface of one of Europe’s most celebrated destinations.

When a Dutch entrepreneur buys a small hotel on the French Riviera, he expects sunshine, bureaucracy, and cultural adjustment. Instead, he encounters early warnings, subtle pressure, and a series of unsettling events that reveal how power, loyalty, and silence shape daily life behind the scenes.

Told through a sequence of tightly connected stories, this book blends personal experience with sharp observation. Moments of beauty and humor coexist with intimidation, moral ambiguity, and quiet resilience. Life goes on, guests arrive, dinners are served — even as the rules appear to shift beneath the surface.

This is not a sensational exposé, but a reflective memoir written with restraint and clarity. Names are withheld, accusations avoided, and the focus remains on atmosphere, experience, and insight.

Inside the French Riviera is for readers who are curious about what lies behind glamorous façades — and what it means to remain standing when charm and danger share the same view.
