Cannes - On the way to Sainte-Marguerite

We decided that we will not plan anything for the next day, but if we are destined to meet then we shall. So after this quick meeting and one round of photo session we headed to the Fort-Royal, on Sainte-Marguerite's Island. This became a state prison in 1685 and played host to the legendary Man in the Iron Mask. We could not visit the Musee de la Mer to see the collections of underwater archaeology as we had very lil time there.

The Ile Sainte-Marguerite is the largest of the Lerins islands is found opposite Cannes. Here you will be surprised and won over by the peace and tranquillity that the island has to offer. This island offers wonderful strolls beneath the pines and eucalyptus along the many paths.
In the evening we came back to Cannes and then took a stroll in the beach there with a visit to the old city. From the top of the mountains this night view of the city was captured from there.
