| Details |
'Showing the fortifications erected by Vauban in 1691, and the coast towards Nice.'
"Antibes, where the rock is low, surrounded herself with elaborate walls long before Vauban's fort was made, and the two old watch-towers that rise from the middle of her huddled streets till recall, even to the inhabitants, the days when Saracens and Christians cut each other's throats, with equal confidence in the holiness of their service."
