About 125 years B.C. Romans started to organize militaries camps on Azure beach and in Provence. Some of them have begun cities - Arles, Aix, Nime and Orange. So Cannes has begun as the settlement on that place, where it is situated right now. |
|  | The monastery was established in the X-th century on one of two islands Lerens in front of Cannes. During six hundred years the territory opposite to the island belonged to this monastery. On the second island the royal fort which has been transformed into prison has been constructed.
In 1587 there lived within 17 years the prisoner whom we know from Dumas as "an iron mask". Who was he - the cousin of Lui XIV, the Italian diplomat, or Moliere? Anybody has not found it out. It is known only, that actually he carried not iron, but a velveteen mask. In 1635-1638 the struggle between Spain and empire of Gabsburg was fastened for islands. Once again military actions were developed later hundred years when France in the union with Bavaria, Saxony and Spain was at war with Austria and England. |
