Cannes: What to Do
Film festival aside, Cannes is a little city with a big heart and big excitement. Whether it’s the beach, a dining or shopping getaway, or a romantic weekend, Cannes is a sampling of European charm. Here are a few great things to do:
Dinner at Au Bec Fin
This casual yet delicious cuisine is Provence done the old fashioned way. The portions are generous and hearty and the atmosphere is quaint. Make sure to make a reservation!
Sand and Sun
Rent an umbrella or cabana and enjoy the French Riviera’s sunbathing.
Watersport
Tired of lounging? Take some time off the beach and in the water. Your concierge can arrange a waterskiing, scuba diving, or parasailing excursion.
Shopping at La Croisette
This shopping district is not only a beautiful coastal stroll, but a great place to pick up your favourite designer items, like Coco Chanel. For a more unique experience, stop in a few of the local boutiques.
Adventure
For the more intrepid traveller, try one of Cannes gliding fields. You’ll see some of the most fantastic views of the Alps, urban areas, and the coast.
