    Visit Cannes' beaches, like the large Plage du Midi with its restaurants and ice cream stalls, or the quieter Plage de la Bocca, perfect for snorkelling and a sunset apéritif by the rocky outcrops.

  • Marché Forville

    Marché Forville is a lively covered market surrounded by boutiques in the Le Suquet district. Browse local produce and specialties like olives and cheese, then enjoy a glass of rosé on Rue Meynadier.

  • Musée des Explorations du monde

    Perched high above the city and once a monastery, the Musée des Explorations du Monde is a medieval castle and gallery. Climb the medieval tower for panoramic views or relax in the gardens below.
