Le Suquet: Le Suquet Area #1

  • The closest thing to an "old town" is "Le Suquet"
    overlooking the west end of the port. The 12th century
    Tour de Mt. Chevalier, ramparts and 12th century
    church Notre Dame de l'Esperence give a touch of
    medieval flavor to the city. The Le Suquet area has
    narrow streets climbing up and around the hill, with
    a fine view from the top.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    Standing on the ancient rampart wall in front of the church, you can see east across
    the city, the port and the bay to the Cap de la Croisette, and to the west across the
    Gulf of La Napoule to the Massif de l'Esterel mountains.

  • Check out the building at the
    base of the hill leading up to the
    Church Notre Dame de l'Eserence
    It has a large painted mural to that
    depicts the Cannes Film Festival.

  • View from on top of the hill near the
    Church Notre Dame de l'Eserence
    We really enjoyed all that you could
    see. The day these pictures were
    taken, it was warm and sunny, and
    visibility was unlimited.
    We saw all of Cannes, the harbor,
    and up the coast ....

    Beaches - Plages: Cannes Beaches

  • If you're not busy shopping, eating or ogling,
    there are miles of great beaches along the
    Golfe de la Napoule or along La Croisette
    in the Rade de Cannes.

    The beaches are all sandy and well kept up
    here, as they are in Antibes and Juan les Pins.

    One thing that we do in all the places
    that we visit, is take some time and just
    wander around the side streets with no
    destination in mind.

    We have found many nice little shops
    and places to eat by doing so ....

     Colorful shops, red tile roofs, the blue of the sea....all beautiful. Thanks for the glimpse of a lovely city. My husband was there on the Forrestal aircraft carrier when my son was being born in the US.
