A new attack from the Saracens in 891 devastates
the country (they will be chased away only at the end of the 10th
century).
The insecurity of the Islands forces the munks to settle on the continent,
at the Suquet.
Starting in 1035 a castel is built in the heart of the city named
CANNES (fief of the princes from Antibes). At the end of the 11th
century, two tours are constructed on the island Saint-Honorat and
at Cannes : the construction of the first will last one century, the
second three.
Raymond Berger, Count of Provence, declares the castel property of
the munks ; it is named "Castrum Francium" and soon later
changed into "Castrum de Canoas".
The village encounters plague epidemics, claiming hundreds of victimes.
Around 1530, during the war between François 1er and Charles
Quint, Cannes detaches from the munks and starts becoming independent.
The village takes wing.
In the 18th century the church Notre-Dame is constructed.
