Puen-view – strongly projecting promontory in the Eastern part of Cannes. There comes the famous Croisette.

And the Cape, and the waterfront is so named because when it was the "Path of small cross". By him were the pilgrims heading to the island of St. Onora, Lerins monastery (crouseto in Provencal means "small cross"). One urban legend says that here on the Cape, during the struggle against the Saracens, Muslims erected a cross.

In 1929, at the end of the "roaring twenties", when France enjoyed postwar prosperity in the South Pacific area Puen-hall was built luxury casino "palm beach" (existing until now). The huge complex is a saltwater swimming pool, private beach, restaurants, bars, night club attracted many celebrities. Here there were Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, Maurice Chevalier, John Rockefeller, the Sultan of Morocco. Oddly enough, the noisy neighbors did not prevent the district to remain a semblance of a village: there was to be found, for example, Charles Aznavour, playing peacefully with the locals pétanque before going to the casino.

Now, of course, the area has grown, villas and private houses were replaced by high-rise buildings, have not all the neighbors know each other as it was a century ago, but Puen-Croisette still as if separated from the rest of Cannes. People say that can exist in isolation: there are shops, churches, places for walking and ports for yachts and boats, what else do you need?

On the Cape three marinas: West port Pierre Canto, in the East – Moore-Rouge, in the South of the harbour Puen-hall. It's natural for the sea city whose inhabitants cannot imagine life without the ability to go to sea in your own boat. In some marinas now work is underway to improve them.

Townsfolk and tourists enjoy walking in a Park named on 8 may 1945. Flowerbeds with roses and shaded benches surround the center of the Park, where he hoisted the cross of Lorraine is a symbol of Resistance. Nearby, on the Boulevard Alexandre III, you can admire the Catholic Church Notre-Dame-de-Pin or Orthodox Archangel Michael.

In 2010 at the southern tip of the Cape, on the spot where the pilgrims went to Lerins, the monastery, the city inaugurated a memorial cross, erected in memory of the crouseto. Near the cars in the Parking lot, the beach, the casino, but the cross on the background of the sea and Lérins Islands recalls the history of the city.
