The setting of Nice in 1936 is central to the story of Summer '36, as it captures a unique historical moment when workers in France were enjoying their first paid holidays. This social change brings a diverse group of people, including the four very different women at the heart of the story, to the Riviera hotel, creating a dynamic backdrop for the murder mystery. The period's social and political atmosphere, combined with the glamorous yet tense environment of the Riviera, shapes the characters' interactions and the unfolding of the plot.
