Little Words." This episode was aired Sunday, April 1, 2007. The tv show can be downloaded from the Fox website. You

June 3, 2007 - a newspaper article in Nice-Matin April 23, 2007 announced plans for Maurice
Chevalier's former Cannes residence, "La Louque" in La Bocca, just outside of Cannes. A
Swiss investor, Michel B. Habib, was chosen by the Cannes municipality to rehabilitate
the rundown villa that has been home to several "squatters" in recent years. The plan is to build a world-class
tennis facility where champions of tennis may come to get back into form for competition. There
will be additional tennis courts built nearby. The cost is estimated at 4 to 5 million euros. Michel
Habib will be soliciting other investors to participate. His father was a big fan of Maurice
Chevalier and he himself has collected letters and documents concerning the villa. Michel says "Believe me, we
are going to make something grandiose around this house."
