Après avoir abrité à l'époque romaine un temple, puis une chapelle, Saint-Jaume voit s'édifier une tour fortifiée, entièrement détruite au 17ème siècle. Quelques décennies plus tard, le site accueille le Bastion des Constructions Navales, où est aménagée la célèbre Calypso du commandant Cousteau. Le chantier naval cesse toute activité en 1985. Détruit pour cause d'obsolescence, le bâtiment laisse place à un vaste espace mettant en lumière les prestigieux vestiges fortifiés et la courtine, magnifiquement rénovés. Aujourd'hui, cet espace accueille la sculpture monumentale du « Nomade » de l'artiste catalan Jaume Plensa.

Le Nomade, la sculpture monumentale de Jaume Plensa. Ce géant d’une dizaine de mètres de haut dresse son armature aérienne sur le bastion Saint-Jaume, ancienne fortification Vauban qui protégeait l’entrée du port d’Antibes.
Constitué d’une dentelle de lettres majuscules en acier blanc, il se détache avec délicatesse sur le ciel généralement d’un bleu profond de la Côte d’Azur, évoquant une silhouette humaine aux formes courbes, assise devant la mer, une jambe repliée contre sa poitrine. Sa face est ouverte, les lettres s’y arrêtent soudainement, comme effacées par la beauté du paysage qu’il contemple. A l’image du nomade, les mots cessent et le silence se fait dans l’esprit du spectateur qui se retrouve lui aussi happé par la contemplation.
The Nomad, the monumental sculpture by Jaume Plensa. This giant, about ten meters high, raises its aerial frame on the Saint-Jaume bastion, a former Vauban fortification which protected the entrance to the port of Antibes.
Made up of a lace of capital letters in white steel, it stands out delicately against the generally deep blue sky of the Côte d'Azur, evoking a human silhouette with curved shapes, seated in front of the sea, one leg bent against Her chest. His face is open, the letters suddenly stop there, as if erased by the beauty of the landscape he contemplates. Like the nomad, the words stop and the silence is in the mind of the spectator who also finds himself caught up in contemplation.

A large, 8 metre tall sculpture in the shape of a figure squatting, with one knee close to the chest, made of metal letters.
Originally part of an exhibition in 2007, it was bought by the local Picasso museum/Antibes town in 2010 to become a permanent feature.

The Fort Carré is a military fort built during the reign 'of Henri II to xvi th century . The fort is located on the peninsula of Saint Roch in Antibes , along the road from the seafront and is built on a rock rising 26 meters above the sea .
History
Fort Square was built mid- xvi th century under Henri II by Monsieur de Saint-Rémy. Two characters were designated as François de Saint-Rémy Mandon and Jean Renaud de Saint-Rémy , both with ties to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence . Jean de Saint-Rémy built the St. Lawrence turn around which has developed strong square. It has been slightly retouched end xvii th century under Louis XIV by Vauban .
Context
The xvi th century , the Provence belongs to the Kingdom of France while the County of Nice depends on the Duchy of Savoy , the boundary is located at the river Var . Tensions between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Savoy are due to the latter's alliance with Spain Habsburg . During the wars of Italy , the Spaniards put Antibes sacked in 1524 and 1536, showing the fragility of this region.
Southeast of Provence is a border area that the kings of France from the reign strengthen François I er . Henri II decided to build Fort Carré in a strategic location: the building is a sentinel for by point panoramic view to monitor the border with the Duchy of Savoy.
Construction
It has long been attributed to the construction of the Fort Carré François de Saint-Rémy Mandon who called himself Monsieur de Saint-Rémy. In fact, the military engineer who built the first Fort Carré is Jean Renaud de Saint-Rémy also called Monsieur de Saint-Rémy. Both came from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence . Jean Renaud was also "M. de Saint-Remy," and the family of Renaud de Saint-Rémy has its own chapel inside the church of Saint-Martin . The common name for the two men led to an error on the allocation of the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence in the late xix th century by Henri-François de Madon designer ramparts.
Saint-Laurent chapel which stood on the hill was destroyed on this occasion to give way to the military building and the name of St. Lawrence was retained for the central tower of Fort Carré which still bears the name "tower St. Lawrence. "
The construction begins with the St. Lawrence turn a truncated keep repeating the plan " torrionne "Italian. This is an annular building surrounding a courtyard 23 meters in diameter with embrasures outside, at the top, armed with 6 protected by a wall 4 meters thick guns.
At the end of the construction of the tower, it was found that the book could not resist when important seat. Between 1544 and 1546, King François I er gives letters of commission to Jean de Saint-Rémy to study the fortifications of Provence. It applies to the existing building principles bastion fortification as it did for the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. He added four bastions tapered allowing to place 21 guns. Access to the building is still medieval, perched with a door under the fire orillons .
The construction of Fort Carré left no plan, no real archive. The various elements collected in the later works agree to place the work begins in the early 1550s, probably in 1553.
The entire building was completed and operational in 1585 .
Defensive function
over three centuries. Apart from its role of surveillance and deterrence, the Fort Carré was attacked twice:
- In 1591, during the Wars of Religion , Duke Charles Emmanuel I st of Savoy made ââa breakthrough in Provence and took the fortress of Antibes no need to fight. The French Army initiated by Henri IV to reconquer Provence is the seat of Antibes and its high in 1592. Epernon Duke leading the seat eventually retake the city and the fort. This is the only known military take Fort Carré;
- In 1746/1747, during the War of the Austrian Succession , the Fort Carré and Antibes are bombarded by artillery Austro-Sardinian and the English fleet, but the stronghold holds the seat.
The intervention of Vauban
Vauban is very little intervention on Fort Carré. Visiting Antibes in the 1680s, he drew several plans and establishes a list of work to be done for defenses Antibes, its port, and Fort Carré. He tells the engineer Antoine de Niquet the task of supervising the work. On the Fort Carré, few of these studies have actually been carried out, particularly include general repair equipment to ensure comfort of the troops, and the creation of outer defenses. The silhouette of the building has been modified in any way by Vauban, the current form of Fort Carré has remained pretty much the one he already had the xvi th century .
Military decommissioning
The xix th century marked a turning point with the annexation of Nice to France in 1860 and a significant modification of weapons that make the Fort Carré obsolete. The strong position and Antibes Fort Carre are decommissioned at the end of the xix th century , thus resulting in the leveling of the city walls. Last used in a military context, during the Second World War, the Fort Carré served during the occupation of foreign assembly center for all the Alpes-Maritimes .
Military Schools Sports
The site of Fort Square with its stadium built in 1920 and barracks Reille welcomes the xx th century several schools sports and military vocation:
- 1920 - 1939: Regional Physical Training Centre, providing training for teachers of physical education in schools;
- 1940 - 1945: National College instructors and athletes, which has the same function as the CRIP;
- 1945 - 1953: Military School fencing and combat sports (EMESC) forming military athletes.
It was at this time that the Fort Carré is refitted with the installation of an obstacle course and track risk using buildings as a training site for climbing, balance and abseiling .
- 1953 - 1967: School of military physical training (EEPM), which is actually the merger between Antibes and EMESC ENEPM Pau;
- 1967: closing the EEPM d'Antibes and the creation of the Joint Sports School Fontainebleau 3 .
The Regional Centre for Popular Education (CREP)
In 1968 the Fort Carré is assigned to the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Management is entrusted to the Regional Director of Youth and Sports for the Academy of Nice (M.PERRIER) . So as not to compete with the CREPS Boulouris Fort Carré is rather dedicated to the youth sector (CREP) without in any way prevent the various training courses (Shooting Centre, diving and sailing with Stuppa , Gymnastics with Bernard Brochart , Judo with Bernard Midan , Wrestling with Christian Joly and cooperation with Antibes for training local clubs. Until 1979 various cultural events like "living book" (Christine De Toth) are initiated by the DRJS in the fort.
Restoration [ edit | edit the code ]
Between 1979 and 1985, the Fort Carré is restored by volunteers Club du Vieux Manoir . Working during spring break and summer youth club restore facades, roofs, create access ... allowing the tour of the building.

He tells the engineer Antoine de Niquet the task of supervising the work. On the Fort Carré, few of these studies have actually been carried out, particularly include general repair equipment to ensure comfort of the troops, and the creation of outer defenses. The silhouette of the building has been modified in any way by Vauban, the current form of Fort Carré has remained pretty much the one he already had the xvi th century .
Military decommissioning
The xix th century marked a turning point with the annexation of Nice to France in 1860 and a significant modification of weapons that make the Fort Carré obsolete. The strong position and Antibes Fort Carre are decommissioned at the end of the xix th century , thus resulting in the leveling of the city walls. Last used in a military context, during the Second World War, the Fort Carré served during the occupation of foreign assembly center for all the Alpes-Maritimes .

It was at this time that the Fort Carré is refitted with the installation of an obstacle course and track risk using buildings as a training site for climbing, balance and abseiling .
- 1953 - 1967: School of military physical training (EEPM), which is actually the merger between Antibes and EMESC ENEPM Pau;

The Fort Carré is a military fort built during the reign 'of Henri II to xvi th century . The fort is located on the peninsula of Saint Roch in Antibes , along the road from the seafront and is built on a rock rising 26 meters above the sea .
History
Fort Square was built mid- xvi th century under Henri II by Monsieur de Saint-Rémy. Two characters were designated as François de Saint-Rémy Mandon and Jean Renaud de Saint-Rémy , both with ties to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence . Jean de Saint-Rémy built the St. Lawrence turn around which has developed strong square. It has been slightly retouched end xvii th century under Louis XIV by Vauban .
Context
The xvi th century , the Provence belongs to the Kingdom of France while the County of Nice depends on the Duchy of Savoy , the boundary is located at the river Var . Tensions between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Savoy are due to the latter's alliance with Spain Habsburg . During the wars of Italy , the Spaniards put Antibes sacked in 1524 and 1536, showing the fragility of this region.
Southeast of Provence is a border area that the kings of France from the reign strengthen François I er . Henri II decided to build Fort Carré in a strategic location: the building is a sentinel for by point panoramic view to monitor the border with the Duchy of Savoy.
Construction
It has long been attributed to the construction of the Fort Carré François de Saint-Rémy Mandon who called himself Monsieur de Saint-Rémy. In fact, the military engineer who built the first Fort Carré is Jean Renaud de Saint-Rémy also called Monsieur de Saint-Rémy. Both came from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence . Jean Renaud was also "M. de Saint-Remy," and the family of Renaud de Saint-Rémy has its own chapel inside the church of Saint-Martin . The common name for the two men led to an error on the allocation of the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence in the late xix th century by Henri-François de Madon designer ramparts.
Saint-Laurent chapel which stood on the hill was destroyed on this occasion to give way to the military building and the name of St. Lawrence was retained for the central tower of Fort Carré which still bears the name "tower St. Lawrence. "
The construction begins with the St. Lawrence turn a truncated keep repeating the plan " torrionne "Italian. This is an annular building surrounding a courtyard 23 meters in diameter with embrasures outside, at the top, armed with 6 protected by a wall 4 meters thick guns.
At the end of the construction of the tower, it was found that the book could not resist when important seat. Between 1544 and 1546, King François I er gives letters of commission to Jean de Saint-Rémy to study the fortifications of Provence. It applies to the existing building principles bastion fortification as it did for the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. He added four bastions tapered allowing to place 21 guns. Access to the building is still medieval, perched with a door under the fire orillons .
The construction of Fort Carré left no plan, no real archive. The various elements collected in the later works agree to place the work begins in the early 1550s, probably in 1553.
The entire building was completed and operational in 1585 .
Defensive function
over three centuries. Apart from its role of surveillance and deterrence, the Fort Carré was attacked twice:
- In 1591, during the Wars of Religion , Duke Charles Emmanuel I st of Savoy made ââa breakthrough in Provence and took the fortress of Antibes no need to fight. The French Army initiated by Henri IV to reconquer Provence is the seat of Antibes and its high in 1592. Epernon Duke leading the seat eventually retake the city and the fort. This is the only known military take Fort Carré;
- In 1746/1747, during the War of the Austrian Succession , the Fort Carré and Antibes are bombarded by artillery Austro-Sardinian and the English fleet, but the stronghold holds the seat.

Port Vauban is a French yachting harbor located in Antibes on the French Riviera. Originally a natural harbor in use since before the Roman Empire, the port was fortified by Sébastien Le Prestre, Seigneur de Vauban, later Marquis de Vauban, King Louis XIV's military engineer.
Port Vauban now serves as the home of the Yacht Club d'Antibes and is the largest marina (in terms of total tonnage of the boats and yachts moored there) in the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the world's largest and most lavishly appointed yachts have Port Vauban as their home port, including Russian oil businessman Roman Abramovich's 86 m Ecstasea and his gift to fellow Russian businessman Eugene Shvidler (Le Grand Bleu). Co-founder of Microsoft Paul Allen's yacht Octopus is a regular visitor to the harbor.
In the early part of the 20th century, Port Vauban also accommodated numerous seaplanes and a seaplane manufacturer.
As of 2012, typical rates for a berth in Port Vauban are between â¬1m to â¬1.4m
Saracen towers
The Grimaldi tower is next to the chapel Holy Spirit and the old cathedral 'of Antibes , in the department of Alpes-Maritimes in France .
History
The archives have been destroyed, you can not set a date provided for the construction of the tower. It was built after the recovery of the region on the Saracens . Its construction may date from the end of xi th century as the tower of Le Suquet , Cannes.
This construction was therefore contemporary with the possession of the lordship of Antibes by the family of Rodoard . The lordship of Antibes is given in 1275 to the bishop of Grasse . The Bishop of Grasse kept the temporal jurisdiction until the time of Clement VII who committed, in 1383, the Grimaldi against 9,000 florins. This entitlement has been challenged by Martin V . The Archbishop of Embrun , he appointed Commissioner upheld the restitution of the right to the bishop of Grasse. The case lasted, it was taken by Eugene IV who appointed the bishop of Cavaillon to hear the case, which upheld the rights of the Grimaldi family.
Antoine Grimaldi (died in 1358) started the branch of Grimaldi of Antibes .
When Henri IV in 1608 bought the temporal jurisdiction of the manor to Alexander Grimaldi for 250 000 pounds, he left the property to the people of Antibes. The king had sent to Antibes Guillaume du Vair , first president of the parliament of Aix between 1599 and 1616, to take possession of the lordship in his name and establish the governor, lieutenant of the king and the major.
Description
Grimaldi tower has a height of 30 meters with a square section of 7.50 meters on each side. The thickness of the walls to the base is 2 meters. The siding has 70 seats in stone whose thicknesses vary between 0.55 m and 0.30 m. Many of these stones were salvaged from Roman buildings. Some have inscriptions, are elements of architrave or cornice .
The interior is divided into four floors with three upper are nearly equal in height, and higher than the ground floor half. The ground floor communicates with the first floor by a square hole and could not go down by a ladder.
The old gate to the tower was walled. It was on the north side of the tower. She had her threshold at 0.60 m above the floor of the first floor, 6 m above the ground. Could not access the tower by a sliding scale. Current access are modern: access to the west side 1.40 m above the floor, and access to the facade.
The second and third floors are receiving day by barbicans 0.80 m opening on each side, placed 1 m above the floor. The openings on the third floor who receive the bells are modern.
The upper platform is supported by an arch. It is accessed by a stone staircase.
We can deduce from this description that this tower was to serve reduced in case of siege of the city.

Port Vauban Antibes-Le Nomade Jaume Plensa
The Bastion Saint-Jaume is a geometric fortification in the purest style of Vauban. It once protected the entrance to the port of Antibes. On the terrace, facing the sea, the Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa has placed spring Nomade , a perennial plant financed by the municipality, the Regional Acquisition Fund for museums and local stakeholders.
Nomad is a form of ten meters high. Its curves evoke a human body sitting with one leg bent, his face turned towards the sea and is entirely comprised of a kind of net that each cell is an uppercase letter stainless steel painted white.
Nomad is a transparent sculpture, a light mesh and wrapping within which it is attempting to enter and the children try to climb - and also a photogenic subject, as can be checked by observing walkers who seek best vantage point for their devices. This is the archetype of the spectacular sculpture, attractive and symbolic.

A Nice Place Massena in 2007, he placed on high metal matt white figures Conversation in Nice , figures midway between Buddhas and protective deities. Recently he was asked to Düsseldorf, Jerusalem, Chicago or Zaragoza.

Port Vauban is a French yachting harbor located in Antibes on the French Riviera. Originally a natural harbor in use since before the Roman Empire, the port was fortified by Sébastien Le Prestre, Seigneur de Vauban, later Marquis de Vauban, King Louis XIV's military engineer.
Port Vauban now serves as the home of the Yacht Club d'Antibes and is the largest marina (in terms of total tonnage of the boats and yachts moored there) in the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the world's largest and most lavishly appointed yachts have Port Vauban as their home port, including Russian oil businessman Roman Abramovich's 86 m Ecstasea and his gift to fellow Russian businessman Eugene Shvidler (Le Grand Bleu).
