Sartoux, officially part of the amalgamated Caille-Sartoux Metropolis, is the capital city and federal district of Côte d'Azur in southern Asteria Inferior. It is located on the east bank of the River Thauvin, which forms its westernmost border with Caille; its remaining territory is encircled by the Shire of Lehideux (Comté de Lehideux). Originally named Rendezvous by the Gaullican trading caravans who established the settlement, the city earned its current name in 1756 from famed early-mountaineer and explorer Charles Sartoux after he became the first person to successfully scale Tinsulchxalan (now known as Volcan Desmoulins, or the Mount Desmoulins Volcano). Owing to its centrality in the power structures of the Azurenne government, the city is flush with international residents bringing parts of their own cultures from their native lands to the Azure Coast. It is, in addition to its government function, a National Historic Landmark and popular tourist attraction. It is the oldest continually-inhabited settlement in the country.
