Whilst staying in Nice, we caught the train to Cannes for the day.
We were a week or so ahead of the film festival, beating the crowds and inflated prices. Pleasingly, they have a number of large, comfortable chairs lining the waterfront. We parked ourselves there for some people watching, and besides, the sun was out. A large private….yacht….was off shore, with a nice speedboat ferrying passengers to and from the shore. When I say Yacht, I actually mean small ocean liner. Money was, as you would expect, everywhere around the Cote d’Azur.
We walked along the shoreline, admiring the beautiful hotels, gardens and immaculately clean streets. Eventually we wound our way up to the top of the headland of Cannes for a wonderful view back along the coastline. |

Nice pics and tips, Sue. Would you take the trip to Cannes from Nice again or was there someplace else you liked better? Tom | yumyum Sun Mar 11, 2007 18:19 UTC
What brilliant blue sky! I'm not sure I want to go there... | alucas Mon Sep 4, 2006 19:24 UTC
I know someone who keeps a yacht there for several months each year. Wasn't there when you were though - or you'd see it in the photos ! | Pawtuxet Fri Sep 2, 2005 11:56 UTC
Looks ideal. No wonder it is revered by the wealthy. I could sit by those coves for hours. |
