Square François Musso in Cannes commemorates François Musso, a baker whose life connected Le Suquet with wartime resistance. His bakery served residents of Le Suquet from 1928. It occupied a former chapel confiscated during the French Revolution, then became a gathering place for local residents. Local residents brought their dishes to its oven. Musso also helped children, neighbors, and young men leaving for military service, earning the nickname Mayor of Suquet. His kindness shaped daily life across the neighborhood.

During the German occupation in World War II, Musso joined the French Resistance, distributing leaflets, recruiting members, and coordinating activities in Cannes. His bakery hid weapons and people awaiting escape. He also helped create false papers for Jewish people hiding in the bakery, while its upper floor offered a view of the street. After the liberation, Musso joined Cannes municipal council, and his integrity marked both his business and resistance work. Cannes named the square for him in 1965. His story connects a local bakery, the Suquet community, and Cannes history through courage and service.
