Reads like a travel brochure, not a wiki article. CLEAN IT UP! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.100.100 (talk) 15:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


Imo this brochure needs more than some light spring-cleaning; The Compagnie Maritime Cannoise should be deleted or heavily adapted as afaik they no longer operate; Parc Zoologique de Frejus describes something that may be or may not be in Frejus (another commune) and should either be moved or deleted - Galimard is in Grasse (another commune) and should be moved or deleted. Some of the pictures and captions are also on the limit of being wrong.
An outbound link to the dmoz category for this town may be also worthwhile as it looks more or less maintained...
I'd start on this myself, but don't want to be accused of vandalism ;o)

[edit] Clean-up

I've had a go at this, to make it less of a tourist blurb. I'd welcome the help of others. Les woodland (talk) 06:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)les woodland

[edit] German Occupation?

The section on the Second World War is pretty thin, but it says that the Germans occupied Cannes. I don't see how this can have happened, as Cannes was in Vichy France. The map here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:France_map_Lambert-93_with_regions_and_departments-occupation.svg) shows that it was briefly occupied by the Italians, but never the Germans. Maybe somebody should correct that. 65.94.45.22 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:38, 4 November 2011 (UTC).
