Previous to 1834 it was an ancient little hill- town built on Mont Chevalier, which projects seaward and is today crowned by a seventeenth- century church. Twice destroyed by the Saracens in the eighth and tenth centuries, it was re- colonized from Genoa. It is one of the most fash- ionable resorts of the Riviera, the new town QLa Boccaj having grown up on either side of the old city.

Encore Cafe was presented for the beneht of the French Blue Sickness Fund. See pictures on pages 140-142.
