Golfe-Juan is a small seaside resort that offers a superb view of the Lérins Islands and of the 'Cap d`Antibes'. Golfe Juan is in the centre of a large natural harbour stretching from Cap d`Antibes to the East, to the Cap de la Croisette to the West, on the outskirts of Cannes. It was on the beach of Golfe Juan - on March 1st 1815 - that Napoleon I landed on his return from the island of Elba and gave the order to march first towards Cannes and Grasse, then further north: the route taken by Napoleon I as far as Laffrey, a small village to the north of Grenoble, is now known as the 'Route Napoleon'.
