A transverse road in the South of France, between Toulon and Marseille. Not the shortest one, especially compared to the close by highway. But hell (pun intended), the scenery is so incredible that it's a must go !

This world-famous street, which runs along the shoreline of Cannes, is full of upscale shopping opportunities.
La Croisette is always an awesome place for summer holidays. Its sandy beaches, the great food restaurants and the luxury shops offer all the ingredients of a perfect stay, althought a bit too expensive.

This famous street travels along Nice's Mediterranean waterfront.
There is something to be said for a morning walk with a warm, salty summer breeze rolling off the Mediterranean. The Promenade des Anglais is a wide spot that is perfect for a morning jog, a hop down to the pebble beach, or simply stopping for a coffee or cocktail to people watch. I went in the morning and afternoon and found the experience more relaxed and less hot in the morning. The Promenade is close to the old town, so if you like long morning walks you can combine both. The Promenade is the best option for joggers, strollers, and slow-walking groups who want to stick together.

Of all the places essential to see in Nice, this is one of them On the top of a hill overlooking the bay of Nice, originally built for military purposes Castle hill dominates the city, separating the eastern part - the port - and the western part - the old town Once at the top (you can climb up the stairs, or get in the free lift) it offers the most spectacular panoramic views of the bay, the ruins of an old cathedral, a view of the port, and has a lovely (though artificial) waterfall There are toilets and a small cafe too It is lovely to walk back down and visit the Jewish and catholic cemeteries, where you will find tombs of many aristocrats and famous people - apparently it costs 30k just to ‘reserve a plot’ with a substantial yearly upkeep fee

This historic part of Nice feels like a medieval village with narrow streets curving between old buildings with red-tile roofs, small restaurants and open-markets.
Large Old Town area incorporating a wonderful flower market, small shops in narrow, historic winding alleys and streets selling anything and everything, thoroughly enjoyable time with great cafes/restaurants full of locals enjoying coffee, snacks and meals.

Two islands just a boat ride from Cannes, Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, are covered by eucalyptus and pine forests and are home to Fort Royal.
so worth the visit, either by charter crossing or a private hire boat, the views back looking onto Cannes are stunning, the water is fresh and clear, perfect for a picnic and a cool swim

We had 2 boat tours cancelled for bad weather so we braved the rain and wind and hiked from Cassis to Port Pin Calanque and went for a swim! 2.5 hours of parking was enough for us to do it all. Beautiful, peaceful bay. Very calming.

I've been coming down to the Cannes area every year for the last 10 years. I'd been to Sainte Marguerite a few times and have loved walking around the island. I now can't believe that I hadn't been to Saint Honorat. It's a smaller island, but I found it better kept and much more peaceful. It was a beautiful walk around the edge of the island, taking in the gorgeous blue sea, the amazing smell of the fauna and vineyards and visiting the amazing monastery sitting right on the edge of the sea. Highly recommend.

Fantastic area for a leisurely stroll on a summer day. Quite a few cafes and restaurants along the way, which made it easy to stop and refuel. The old cobble-stoned winding streets take you back to the days gone by - the streets have been there for hundreds of years! Oh and don't forget to stop over at La Gelateria to try one of their amazing flavours. Highly recommended.
