Île Sainte Marguerite

30.09.2007
Today we went to a boat trip to Île Sainte Marguerite which is not far from Cannes. It's the island where (not only) the famous "man in the iron mask" was imprisoned. The Fort is the main site there - with a nice small church in it. It is rather calm but the landscape is really amazing!
Just look at the photos!!!!!

My accomodation is a "Studio" located in the town center of Antibes. The flat is situated on Place De Gaulle - the largest square of the historical town of Antibes - 500m from the sea and beaches, 5 mins from the bustling sea-side resort of Juan les Pins and close to stores and grocery shops.

Thursday the first Orientation day took place in Sophia Antipolis starting with a "petit déjeuner". Some things for the matriculation and the course choices had to be organised. In the evening, a students association organised a Welcome Party at the beach in Juan les Pins. First we met at Bernd's and Even's home in Juan les Pins and afterwards we went to the party!
