Suquet
Sunday, April 19, 2009
At 1:25 yesterday afternoon, we tried to retroactively earn our lunch by ascending the Rocher du Suquet, the hill overlooking the old part of Cannes. There are several ways to do this, either through public gardens, winding narrow and cobbled streets, or long series of steps as shown in today’s iPhone photo. The hill overlooks the old harbor; on top, one can see the Tour de Mont Chevalier (12th century), a few ramparts, and Notre-Dame-de-l'Espérance. The earliest portions of this church also date back to the 12th century, but the edifice was added to and modified several times through the years; it has existed in its present form since the 16th century. But the main reason to climb to the top of the Rocher du Suquet is the view. Stay tuned!
