VI.History
Named for the canes of its once-reedy shore, it was probably settled by Ligurian tribesmen and occupied successively by Phocaeans, Celts (or Gauls), and Romans. In the 4th century it came under the protection of the monks of Lérins, whose abbots were lords of Cannes and who in the 10th century built fortifications under Pointe du Chevalier to guard against Muslim sea raiders. Napoleon, on the first night of his return from Elba, encamped his small army in the dunes outside the village. The international resort reputation of Cannes originated with Lord Brougham, who, prevented by quarantine measures from entering Nice in 1834, stopped at the fishing village of Cannes; he later built a villa and returned every winter for 34 years.
A tiny fishing village once existed where Cannes stands today, but it was the neighbouring islands of Lerina (now St Honorat) and Lero (now St Marguerite) that emerged as key trading ports in the fourth century AD.
It was a tiny fishing village had existed on the site of today’s city, although it was fairly insignificant. Fearing a Saracen invasion, in the 11th century the monks expanded beyond the island. They procured the hill of Le Suquet on the mainland and built a watchtower on top, which still stands in Cannes' Old Town. The concerned monks also strengthened their fortifications on the island, using their vast wealth to extend and bolster the monastery. But it was on the mainland that most of the changes were taking place, following the construction of the watchtower, Le Suquet witnessed a period of expansion. Around 1530, Cannes detached from the monks who had controlled the city for hundreds of years and became independent Due to the improvement in living conditions attracted the English aristocracy, who also built winter residences. In Cannes, projects such as the Boulevard Carnot, the rue d'Antibes and the Carlton Hotel on the Promenade de la Croisette were carried out. With the 20th century came new luxury hotels such as the Miramar and the Martinez. Winter tourism gave way to summer tourism and the summer casino at the Palm Beach was constructed. The city council had the idea of an international film festival shortly before World War II. The first opened on 20 September 1946, held in the Casino Municipal
Nowadays, Cannes is seen as the world capital of cinema, the city of sequins and starlets, of gold and of anchored yachts, the city of glitter and stars. It is a holiday paradise for the wealthy and the powerful, alive with the buzz of international conventions. In summer, the city is awash with the thrill of star-struck holidaymakers treading the red carpet of the Festival Hall steps.
