Nowadays, the town has developed much and its population has been multiplied by ten in the last century and its now part of Nice metropolitan area.

The suburbs positioning, close to Nice and with an abundance of flatlands - which is a rare resource in this region - led to the building of CAP 3000, the Cote dAzurs biggest mall, and an industrial zone with many dynamic activities.
