Sir Winston Churchill left London on Wednesday for French Riviera for a holiday. He flew from London airport to Nice, wearing a fur collared overcoat and smoking one of his traditional cigars. On arriving in Nice, accompanied by his secretary, he was soon speeding off to Cap Martin, where he will stay at a villa aptly called “Quiet Rest.” Photo Shows: Sir Winston Churchill arriving in Nice for a holiday and quiet rest in the South of France.
