"Suquet" means "small hill" in Provencal. Right where I took this picture there is an inscribed bench donated by a grateful Queen Victoria to the people of Cannes, where she brought one of her sons in the winter because of lung problems. (Back then escape to a better climate was the only possible cure, but only the wealthy could afford it). Nearby is Notre Dame de l'Esperance church (16th - 17th centuries), built in Provencal gothic style and featuring fine wood panelling. Also noteworthy is the Musee de la Castre, with an eclectic collection of foreign paintings, sculptures and decorative arts.
