Do you know the gueyeurs? At the time, they would have taken you on their backs to cross the Var to the County of Nice.
These strong, robust men were indispensable to travellers, as part of the Var river could not be crossed by boat. At that time, Saint-Laurent-du-Var was the last French town. The town's status as a border town shaped its history, particularly that of the guéyeurs, until the County of Nice joined the border in 1860 and the construction of a permanent bridge sounded the death knell for the guéyeurs' profession.
