Among them stand the <em>Foyer du Poilu<\/em>, a museum dedicated to military history, and, above all, the <em>Riviera Palace<\/em>, a former luxury hotel inaugurated in 1903. Listed as a historic monument, this exceptional building preserves remarkable period features, including a spectacular 900 m\u00b2 glass-roofed greenhouse, a verdant setting steeped in history.
