FRANCE MONTE CARLO ( Ktte f %a ce The city of Cannes, with the neighboring towns of Golfe Juan, Juan les Pins, Antibes, and other small villages along the coast between Cannes and Nice, form the major portion of the resort known as the French Riviera. The population fluctuates with the seasons and years, and no accurate census can be made. Of its early history little is known, save that it was twice destroyed by the Saracena in the eighth and tenth centuries, but was recolonized from Genoa. It is now one of the most fashionable resorts of the Riviera, the little new town (La Bocca) having grown on either side of the old. Na- poleon landed about 0V2 miles from the center of Cannes on his return from Elba, in March 1815. Opposite the town is the island of St. Marguerita where, in The Citadel, the Man with the Iron Mask was confined from 1687 to 1698, and which acquired notoriety as the prison from which Marshel Bazaine escaped in August 1874. The country surrounding the area to the north is very beautiful and highly fertile; oranges, lemons, olives, almonds, figs, peaches, grapes, and other fruits grow in abund- ance, and form, with fish, the chief exports of the city. Cannes is considered one of the best ports in the Mediterranean, on a par with Nice, or slightly better. The finest swimming in the Riviera is found at Cannes, on the sandy beach along the plage. Our first visit to Cannes gave us the opportunity for refreshing swim calls, paddle-boat play, and bikini watching. Over the Christmas holidays there we had our roughest inport ride, good liberty, and another orphan ' s party.
