Top 10 Things to do in Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur
Galas, regattas, the Film Festival and an outrageously attractive and affluent set characterize Cannes. Vast yachts obscure the view and the town lives up to its motto, "Life is a festival." People-watching is the activity that brings most visitors to Cannes, and hotel-lined La Croisette provides a fine promenade. First popularized by Coco Chanel, Cannes beaches are a huge draw. Get expensive seaside food and drinks service on hotel sand or opt for the free public beaches, Plages du Midi and de la Boca.

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 traditional French outdoor market specializes in quality produce harvested by local farmers.
Reviewed By ZahidMalti - London, United Kingdom
Long established traditional market with a good selection of fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish and more including ready to eat snacks. Vibrant in the morning especially in the high season and short distance from both old town, Rue Antibes and small shopping lanes. Worth adding to your list of Cannes experiences.

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.

Famous for its film festival, this beach side town is home to wealthy Europeans during winters. Many good hotels, pubs & eateries available and the evenings are enjoyable with good music/dance.
