About this audio guide
This guide to the Marché provençal in Antibes, near Cannes, is about a young ex-sergeant who settled on this square in seventeen eighty-nine, married a surgeon's daughter, and opened a shop selling oil and soap. It follows him from a modest counter at number twenty-one into the armies of the Revolution and Napoleon's Italy. Best heard beside an olive-oil stall under the iron roof of the market hall.
