Invader installed his three mosaics here in a single day, on 14 May 2007, at the start of the tour that then took him to Antibes and Hyères. The set is worth 90 points in the FlashInvaders game, and all three pieces are still in place eighteen years on.

The locations stay in the shopping core: rue des Serbes and rue Jean de Riouffe, a step from the Croisette, and boulevard Alexandre-III on the slopes above. That concentration within a tight perimeter is characteristic of his short campaigns, where he covers a town centre in a few hours rather than scattering pieces.

The town has no mural commissioning programme comparable to those of neighbouring cities, and its urban art stays discreet, at the scale of these small tiles. The contrast is sharp with Marseille or Nice, where festivals and public commissions have produced monumental murals across whole gable ends.
