a seaport-town of France, capital of a canton in the department of Var, on the Mediterranean, 25 miles east of Draguignan. It occupies the declivity of a hill projecting into the sea, and has an old Gothic castle, and a fine quay. The harbour, however, is accessible only to small coasting vessels. The country around is fruitful in oranges, olives, citrons, grapes, and other fruits, which, with the production of its fisheries, constitute its exports. Napoleon landed here after his escape from Elba, 1st March 1815. Lord Brougham has a seat in the neighbourhood.
