    A fascinating stroll from one end of this iconic street to the other.
    On one side are the posh shops with intimidating guys guarding the doors and high end cars parked at the kerb, including a gold Rolls Royce with a Ukraine number plate, driven by a mid-30s bling guy – shouldn’t he be somewhere else ….
    On the other side views of the shimmering Med.
    The old guys playing Pétanque were a lovely distraction.

    Bring snorkel gear if you want to see the underwater eco museum! We had a hard time seeing under water without goggles or gear.

    Worth the walk up to the old part of Cannes for the views across the bay- it only took about 10 mins from the old port. The streets are beautiful and the Cannes sign sits at the top. Worth taking a bit of time wandering back down through the streets.

    They were renovating half of the building but the market was still very big and busy. They had everything fresh and local

    Loved this day trip!!
    Highly recommended if in the area.
    Wonderful historical Fort / Museum followed by hike/walk around the island enjoying nature, the coast and a dip in the ocean.
    A wonderful day for anyone from solo travels to families with children.
    Take a small picnic or but sandwiches ( plenty) near the ferry boat docks.

    A long street full of high brand shops with plenty of opportunities to shop. One side of this road you have the beach and the other side you have more local restaurants and cafes so a perfect location for a stroll.

    Really nice narrow street with lots of little shops and cafes. Although we came in the morning, it would be nice and atmospheric of an evening. There are lots of food shops which do samples to try

    Fantastic painted mural near Cannes harbour that celebrates 100 years of movies. It's good fun trying to guess the various stars. Take a photo and there are new bits you'll spot afterwards e.g. Tarzan, Jane, Cheetah on the roof

    A steep walk up the hill to this very peaceful church.
    It’s an imposing building with a beautiful interior and outside good views over the town.

    This is a must-see attraction in Cannes. We did not go inside, however, it is free to take pictures outside and to visit the gift shop. When you are in Cannes, you want to get a bit of the glamour!

    In this museum there were certainly a few interesting artefacts but not really from all over the world.
    There was an awful lot of detail about Vanuatu.
    Many cabinets featured interesting masks and statues with no dates, so we couldn’t really appreciate them fully. 100 years old or from last week?
    We went up the watchtower for magnificent views over the port and town, which made the whole visit worthwhile.

    A peaceful island owned by Cistercian Monks. There are very clear paths to walk along which take you around and through the vineyards grown by the monks for olive oil and wine. The Monastery was undergoing refurbishment when we visited and you can't go in the Abbey until after 3.30pm. There is a good-sized restaurant and a place to buy snacks and soft drinks but the toilets are very French (primitive - hole in the ground!) The boat journey was smooth and takes 30 minutes each way.
