On a point on Cap d'Antibes, the Grillon tower overhangs the remains of an ancient battery. Because of its strategic position, opposite the Lérins islands, the beach at Golfe Juan where Napoleon landed on 1 March 1815 can be seen. [...]

Today, after amassing all donations and collections, the Napoleonic Museum displays paintings, etchings, sculpture and objects from that era. [...]

A magnificent park with meditteranean tree species surrounds the museum, with a wonderful view of Juan-les-Pins bay, Golfe Juan and the foothills of the Esterel. (source: www.antibes-juanlespins.com/eng/culture/musees/napoleon...
