We rented a car and drove to Cannes, home of the international film festival. The only international personality who was in town was Cindy Capitani. We took a ferry boat to St. Marguerite Island. This is the place where the man in the Iron mask was imprisoned for 11 years. No one knows who he was but he was attended by many people even in jail suggesting he was important. The only strange thing was that no one was at the ticket booth so we just walked in. We then learned that nothing was open except a small hotel that is inside the prison. The museums and art gallery had closed an hour before we arrived. We walked all around the prison yard and buildings and then took a walk around a large portion of the island and the beach. After returning to Cannes, we hit the road again and doive to Marseille where we fly out of tomorrow. We walked into the hotel and asked a nice concierge how to get to the A8 expressway to Marseille. He politely showed us a sign to follow but did not tell us that it would take forever to get to the highway due to evening rush. This turned out to be good practice in driving a manual transmission car for Cindy as traffic took us about an hour just to get to the expressway. And due to the clutch being so strong, Cindy could barely move her left leg the next day.
