Marché Forville
This huge covered market with seasonal produce is open every morning, except on Mondays - where you can peruse antiques instead.
Îles de Lérins
The two large islands in the Bay of Cannes are Saint Honorat and Sainte Marguerite, respectively boasting monastery ruins and a castle.

Planning Your Cannes Visit
Sun protection
Due to its sunny location on the Mediterranean, it's vital to be sensible when it comes to sun protection.
Restaurants
To save money on food in this stomping ground of the rich and famous, go beyond the bustling Antibes Street where you will find some cheaper dining options.
Day trips
If you can't get enough of the swanky lifestyle, it's easy to get to the principality of Monaco by car or even by boat.
Stay safe
Unfortunately, where there's money, there's bound to be crime. Don't flash your cash, and dress casual unless the occasion calls for it.

- Best time to visit
- Unless you want to book well in advance and wrestle with thousands of other visitors, its best to avoid Cannes in May during its International Film Festival. Temperatures don't start to drop until November, and although its not an ideal time for swimming it will be the best time for your wallet!

What people are saying about Cannes
Our guide, Parfait, was super friendly and knowledgeable. We really had a great time!! I really recommend this tour; the whole journey is amazing and you get to see all these wonderful places, and if you really enjoy art, St Paul de Vence is the best place to get some inspiration!
Parfait, our tour guide was perfect! He explained everything, I mean everything to us. Very knowledgeable about the places he drove us, very pleasant and willing to answers questions and very helpful. The tour itself totally worths it!!!
Really worth it. Our guide last 11/08 was really accomodating and informative. The entire trip was well planned, visited most of the highlights and we were alotted enough time see the places on our pace.
It was a wonderful day, and we saw many lovely places at the Côte d'Azur. Our guide Ben was very kind and friendly and told us many interesting things about the destinations we passed by.
This was excellent and the guide was outstanding. I will be coming back and will ask the same company to see the sites.
