What’s not to love about Cannes? From the sensational food to the breathtaking sights to the fantastic weather and culture. There is plenty to experience when you visit this gorgeous city, so people flock here as often as they can.
You can find accommodation in one of the luxurious hotels or an apartment rental in cannes and enjoy your vacation.
With so many options on what to visit, you may be wondering where you should start. Here are our top picks on what to visit in Cannes.
1 – The Castre Museum
When you get out of your studio rental in Cannes and want to experience some old-town vibes, The Castre Museum is a perfect choice. This is one of the oldest museums located in the historical site of Le Suquet district. It sits in a castle built by the monks of the Abbaye Saint-Honorat.
You can easily lose a day at Castre Museum because it is full of musical instruments sourced globally, Mediterranean antiquities, and endless pieces of primitive art and Provencal paintings. It will for sure be dark outside when you return to your accommodation!
If you are up for it, the 109 steps at Musée de la Castre are fun to walk up and promise breathtaking views of the Bay of Cannes. Your legs will feel the burn when you return to your seasonal apartment rental in Cannes, but it will be worth it.
2 – The Painted Walls of Cannes
Now, you have just woken up early in your place in Cannes and have a whole day full of possibilities ahead of you. You can choose to enjoy the Painted Walls of Cannes. The exciting bit about this plan is that there are sixteen gorgeous frescoes across different districts in Cannes.
Among the more popular frescoes are the Marylin Monroe at 16 Boulevard d’Alsace, Charlie Chaplin on 10 Boulevard Vallombrosa or Hotel de la Plage in 7 rue Saint-Dizier.
3 – The Red Carpet
Have you ever watched those celebrity award shows and desired to be on the red carpet? Well, you can feel like a star by walking the Red Carpet steps at the Cannes Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. You get to kill two birds with one stone because this is also the film festival building, and you might even run into a celebrity.
Either way, strike a pose and have a photo taken; it will be well worth the memories. When you get back to your studio, your apartment or your villa in Cannes, you will always know that you and some of the most celebrities have once stepped on the same place albeit not at the same time. It is iconic, whimsical, a crowd favorite, and generally quite fun.
4 – Forville Market
French food is one of the most flavorful cuisines in the world. This can be largely attributed to cooking techniques but more so to the ingredients utilized in a dish. That is why getting up early and leaving your accommodation in Cannes to head to Forville Market is a good idea.
It is a morning market that opens from 7 am to 1 pm except for Mondays when it’s a flea market. The fresh local produce will make you dream about going for a picnic. Better yet, you can get some fresh ingredients, head back to your housing in Cannes and make a breathtaking, aesthetically pleasing meal.
Everything about Cannes screams relaxation, memories, and a good time. After you settle at your place, freshen up and decide what you want to visit first in Cannes.
