This too was where passing troops paraded. It was here, on 1 and 2 March 1815, that a small troop of men who had landed in Golfe-Juan after escaping from the island of Elbe with their legendary leader, Napoleon, spent their first night on French soil. The rue Bivouac-Napoleon commemorates this brief halt. Legend has it that Pauline Bonaparte stayed in the little Gazielle inn.
