(Last Update: 02.04.2024) Rods (canWhat comes to your mind when you say )? Cannes Film Festival, topless girls on the beach, what else? Nothing else is coming, right? However, for me, Cannes is more than these... In this article, I will tell you French Riviera within the scope of the trip Nice ve MonacoI will tell you what you should see and do in Cannes, which you will visit while visiting. Although it won't be like me explaining Paris in detail on Pariste.Net; for Cannes is a city to visit on a day trip; Unless you're here for the Cannes Film Festival.
In fact, in Cannes, where we will be visiting for the day, people live a lifetime, but time is limited for tourists. The more you see and the more beautiful memories you accumulate in a short time, the more you can get away with it... My first visit to Cannes was in May 2009, and after that I went as a tourist many times. July 2023in NiceWhen I started living in Cannes neighbor's door happened. Therefore, in this article, I will try to tell you about my Cannes and make your trip better by sharing some tips.
Côte d'Azur Guide If you follow the program in my article NiceI assume you are staying in . For transportation from Nice to Cannes smartest option TCDD of France one SNCF'of to TER trains to get on. NiceYou can reach Cannes by train from , with a sea view, in approximately 40 - 45 minutes.
Round trip ticket price according to day and time € 15 - € 20 It can be around. your train tickets via this link or by clicking on the banner above From SNCF's official website that already has a high-level character. NiceIt is also possible to go to Cannes from Zou buses.n. In that case L2 You get on the tram and get off at the Parc Phoenix stop. 620 You get on bus no. There is a separate ticket system for these buses. Information on this subject Côte d'Azur Guide You can find it in my article. The bus is more economical but takes too long. Therefore, I will recommend you to choose the train option.
Cannes Train Station A contemporary building. If you walk straight down the street opposite the station, after two blocks, shopping street one Rue d'AntibesYou reach . In fact, Cannes is smaller than you think. We can divide Cannes, which we will visit, into two parts: the new city and the old city. The old town is on the right, located on the hilly area at the western edge of Cannes. The part I call the new city continues below you, to the point where that hill descends to the seaside, and this place can be thought of as three parts: The beaches, the coastal road and this shopping street located at the back parallel of the coastal road.
Rue d'Antibes (ru dantib or gu dantib) is a not very long street located in a block parallel to the sea and extending on an east-west axis. It's not that big or anything, but it's quite nice. You can find world-known brands and some local French brands here. The real luxury shops are located on the coastline, but I recommend that you do not go down to the beach now, but rather go down from the station and turn right from where you reach Rue d'Antibe and continue your trip.
After a while, you will reach a spacious square where the town hall is located. If you are lucky like me, there will definitely be an event such as a flea market or art market in this square. If nothing else, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants; Your heart will open and your joy will be restored. The sea will be on your immediate left anyway. But we are not going down to the sea, we will visit the old city first. That's why we continue on our way. Before reaching the point where the street bends to the left, the narrow street on the right, Saint-Antoine StreetWe enter the old city from .
Saint-Antoine Street (ru san antuan or gu san antuan) after two steps it becomes a very narrow street and takes the shape of a ramp. As you go up this street, restaurants and souvenir shops on both sides offer a very pleasant atmosphere. Eating and drinking in Cannes I won't have a specific restaurant recommendation; Because you can eat it anywhere you like, but this region is especially famous for its seafood plates. If you like it, you can try it.
This area of Cannes Vielle Ville (viyey vil) Since it is the old city, its streets are narrow and a bit complicated. There is definitely something nice to see on every street, but it is difficult to describe. For that reason wherever your heart takes you You will go 😉 Sometimes you will discover corners with cute cafes, sometimes tinseled houses, and sometimes deserted streets, but your main goal will be to climb the hill, because There is a beautiful view of Cannes waiting for you above. 😉
The church where you reach the top Notre Dame d'Esperance Church. The clock tower you see from below is also a part of this church. Also on the hill Musee de la Castre There is a museum called, but by the way, although I have been to Cannes many times, I have not visited it yet. I would be very happy if there are some of you who have traveled there and shared their experiences with us. My purpose of climbing this hill is usually to watch the city from above.
The view is not that vast, but it is still nice to watch the streets you have just wandered from above. Well, if you have had enough of the view, we can now start slowly descending downwards. This time our direction is Cannes Film FestivalThe famous congress palace where was built Palais des Festivals et des Congrés… To be honest, this building, which is an example of contemporary architecture, does not suit Cannes at all, but here you go, these architects know something :) Of course despite this building Cannes Film Festival has remained important for the cinema industry for years. us too the spirit of the festival Following it, we first go down to the beach and then reach the festival palace.
Until now, I always went to Cannes just before the festival period, it happened that way, but in June 2018 French Riviera Our trip coincided with the festival period. Don't look at everyone's "Other than the Cannes Film Festival, Cannes has no number one” to what they said; When I saw the festival crowd, I realized that The best time to go to Cannes It is definitely a period other than the film festival 😀 Maybe there could be a date range right before the festival for the sake of convenience. This is the case if you are someone like me who does not like crowds, but if fame and crowds are important to you, of course you should go during the festival. It's a must to take a photo on the red carpet while you're there :)
The festival is all well and good, the fireworks show is very famous as well as the art and magazine atmosphere, but there are a lot of people around. However, if you go right before the festival, while the festival preparations are still going on, there will be a lot of activity in the city, you will get an idea of the festival atmosphere, and you will also be able to stroll around the streets of Cannes calmly. Because Cannes is a small city, I think it cannot handle that much crowd. Speaking of wandering the streets, I mean the road right next to the Congress Palace. containing the handprints of famous movie actors There is a section. For me, she is my favorite actress in French cinema. Catherine Deneuve So I took a photo of his handprint 😉
The next part of our trip is the beach... The name of the street decorated with palm trees along the beach. Boulevard de la Croisette (bulvar döla kruazet or bulvağ döla kğuazet) is mentioned. The left side of the street is full of famous luxury consumer brands and famous hotels. The beach is a completely public beach. I say public beach but most of it is beach Luxury places arranged as. If the sea was beautiful, I would say go and spend time there, but still, you know. While Turkey and Greece have seas, not many people feel like swimming here, but walking on the beach and watching the sea is great 😉
The Cannes Film Festival is on the minds of most people my age during the festival period. Young girls swimming topless on Cannes beaches, waiting to be discovered by famous filmmakers and directors. It may also remind you, but those were the days when there was no internet or other social media opportunities. Now this is the eyes of the people to half nakedness He got so used to it and nudity became so familiar that he from beautiful It is not passed. Therefore, the chances of girls swimming topless here are not as good as before, and even not that attractive. Still, of course, it doesn't leave a pleasant smile on your face.
How long you walk on the beach is up to you, but it is generally customary to return from the park at the other end of the beach. Once you walk from the beach and once from the shops, you're done. After that, it might be nice to sit somewhere and have a tired coffee, but you know what? Cannes is a relatively expensive place.
Though French Riviera I recommend that you stay in Nice for accommodation during your trip, but if you need to stay in Cannes according to your plans, the location you can see in the photo above is Carlton It is the most ideal, but of course it is a bit expensive 😉 If your budget allows, the one just ahead MarriottYou can also look at . If you are looking for more modest places, go to the back streets. Hotel Athenee You should choose hotels around the station, such as: If you make your hotel reservations booking.com If you make a reservation by clicking on the links and advertising banners in this article, you are supporting me. In fact, not just for Cannes, but for all over the world...
Depending on your walking capacity, how interested you are in details, and your interest in eating and drinking. You can visit Cannes in one day, or even with a half-day walk. I spend about 10-12 hours here every time I go. Therefore, do not spend half a day in Cannes. French Riviera I recommend that you leave the other stops in your program to other days. Or just east of you Antibesand your north is famous for its perfume Grasse...
There are so many places to visit and so many things to write about, but for now I can summarize this about Cannes. Already French Riviera Lots of sharing and sharing from people around, social media Youtube and Instagram Live broadcast I'm doing it.
