Buildings of three and four stories in the Italian style lean up against the Suquet hill, which provides a scenic backdrop to the quay. Along the Old Port side of a two-lane road and a large walkway, a row of restaurants extend their terraces onto a wide sidewalk-promenade lined with palm trees at the base of the buildings.
When people think of Cannes, they often think of the hilly, meandering, cobblestone street lined with local eateries on Rue St. Antoine, which is located in Le Suquet, the ancient town.
Located at the district's lowest point, Marché Forville is a top-notch covered market on the Riviera. Within the market's expansive premises is a section devoted to fragrant flowers.
Horses and carriages have been using the Rue Meynadier since the 16th century. Today, only pedestrians use it, and they do so to follow their whims down a bustling retail street where the butcher sits next to the cheesemaker and the fashion boutiques are surrounded by the local products. Give in to its allure and let yourself be charmed by the locations that will lead you directly to the Suquet.
The Allées de la Liberté are situated in the very center of the city, at the foot of the city's historic area, between the recently refurbished Cours Félix Faure and the Pantiero promenade. They represent the inseparable marriage of the city's local origins and its openness to the world.
A convention center in Cannes, France, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès hosts the Cannes Film Festival, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, and the NRJ Music Award.
La Croisette is an iconic beachfront boardwalk in Cannes, and the beach that runs along it is a long, public expanse of sand.

It was inspiring to know from the tour guide, as to how a small village evolved into this artistic powerhouse. We meandered through bustling markets with vibrant stalls and we also sampled some local cuisine. Highly recommend walking tour.

This walking tour took us through the La Croisette promenade and also other places such as Marche Forville. It was nice that the tour guide was a native of Cannes and was able to tell us about the glamour that surrounds Cannes. We took photos for our memories of Cannes.
We're thrilled you enjoyed our Cannes walking tour, led by a local guide who shared the city's glamorous side. Your photos will forever capture the beauty and memories of Cannes.
My husband and I were visiting Nice as part of our river cruise. We had a local guide who took us on an excursion of Cannes, Antibes and St. Paul de Vence. What a wonderful time we had in the beautifully luxurious, fascinating, photographic Cannes with lots to see and experience. The seaside promenade, the Boulevard de la Croisette was simply "The Place" to see, enjoy and spend time photographing the magnificent hotels, exclusive boutiques, antique shops, galleries, and nightclubs. One of the most beautiful sites, except for the azure blue sky, water, golden sandy beaches, is the casino with all the luxurious cars parked outside and people dressed to the "hilt". And although Cannes is not particularly famous for its religious side, however, it does feature a good number of beautiful churches with impressive architecture. There is so much to see in Cannes besides the Film Festival. We did not have enough time here but we will definitely be back to spend at least a day or two. This is a place you don't want to miss!
We are more than happy to read your review. Thank you very much! We will be waiting for you another time.
