A morning in the Old Cannes
Your day begins with a journey back in time. Old Cannes is a labyrinth of narrow alleys and colorful facades. Climb the Suquet hill, the birthplace of the city. It's here, following in the footsteps of ancient fishermen, that you'll feel the authentic soul of Cannes. The panoramic view of the bay from the medieval tower is absolutely breathtaking.
Perched at the summit, the Musée de la Castre, housed in an old castle, is a genuine treasure. More than just a museum, it's a place steeped in history that dominates the city. It holds a fascinating collection of primitive art and antiquities. Don't forget to explore its garden, a peaceful haven that offers a stunning view over the colorful rooftops and the port.
A gourmet and cultural break
After such a discovery-filled morning, there's nothing better than a break to extend the experience. The nearby Forville Market is the perfect place to immerse yourself in local life. This colorful market is a genuine open-air museum where the Cannes way of life is expressed through the stalls of local products. It's the perfect opportunity to savor Mediterranean flavors and admire the lively atmosphere of the place.
Discovering the Art of Cannes
In the afternoon, set off to explore the city's artistic scene. Cannes, famous for the "7th Art" (cinema), has always maintained a strong connection with creativity. The Centre d’Art La Malmaison, a former annex of a grand hotel, is dedicated to modern art. As you stroll along the Rue Meynadier, you'll discover artisan workshops and independent galleries that celebrate local creativity, from pottery to jewelry.
For history enthusiasts, a walk along the Vieux Port allows you to feel the evolution of Cannes, caught between ancient traditions and contemporary artistic influences. The contrast between the pointus, those traditional fishing boats, and the modern yachts is a true work of art in itself, bathed in the soft, golden light of autumn.
Elegance and night lights
As dusk falls, Cannes adorns itself with warm lights. For a unique cultural experience, a stroll along the Croisette is a must. The golden reflections on the water and the elegant activity on the terraces create a refined atmosphere. You can also opt for a walk along the Rue d'Antibes to admire the Belle Époque architecture of the villas, which recall the era when Cannes became a highly prized seaside resort.
After a day full of excitement and discovery, the evening concludes in the refined comfort of your room at the Five Seas.
