My road to work for the next three days
Hi,
I´m going on a business trip to cannes in March. I´m thinking of going there earlier than I have to in order to see the city and not just a conferece room. Therefore I wonder if shops and museums are open on Sundays?
//Cheers
Bonjour Lars,
I don't remember the openings hours... But I think you'll find everything you want to know here:

Have a great time there ! Amicalement - Viviane
PS: Just read most are closed on Monday...
But most have also FREE entrance on the first Sunday of each month.
hi! i would say that your best bets are museums. not many shops are open in this area on sundays though there are a few small ones open here and there. also for some weird reason, most furniture shops are open on sunday, but i guess furniture doesn't make great souvenirs plus it's hard to lug around :-) going to milia by any chance? in any case, have a fun!
Bonjour Eddie, Glad to please you too... But that site isn't quite ready I think. It's a pity!
Please do ask me if you want to find other links to Cannes or any other destinations in France.
And for Lars: If you have the time to go to Monaco... You must visit the HUGE Ocean Aquarium. I didn't see it myself yet but my father did & he keeps telling us how wonderful & unforgetable it is !!!
Did you visit that Aquarium Lulujones?
Amitiés - viviane
hi vivianne! no, i haven't been to the monaco aquarium but have been to monaco as it's like 10 minutes away. i have mixed feelings about zoos and aquariums normally :-( and usually if i go, it's to take other people who are visiting.
Like Hollywood has it's Walk of Fame, Cannes has the handprints that line the promenade to the Festival Palace. They are the hands of the movie stars that have been guests here over the many years of the Film Festival. On the left, Sharon Stone. Incidentally, the Festival is every May, and if you don't like big crowds and standing around doing nothing, not seeing any films or getting into parties, then don't bother coming.
My favorite way to fill up when I was on the go and needed something quick and cheap was a Croquette sandwich. You can get them from street vendors, such as those you'll find across from the train station or along the beach near the carnival or the Palais (I recommend the latter). It's a cheese and ham sandwich fried in egg with a cheese coating. Not terribly healthy, but at 1.50 - 4 euros, it's cheap, tasty and does the job.
Just opposite the Palais a restaurant likes to remind you who won every Festival prize over the last forty years, culminating top right in that shameless political polemic from the 2004 ultimate "Stupid Fat White Man" (title of his own book), Michael Moore.
There were some great films here, and more than a few dogs. But that's showbiz.
Cannes is known world-wide from the prestigious annual film festival. It has a pretty old town and vieux port, and the beaches are nice. The "Croisette" is probably the best known boulevard in Europe.
On the third day of the festival, I went to grab some coffee at the Palais. I discovered that the cafe set up for the press and market attendees was Le Bistro Jean Cocteau. The cafe interior was a re-creation of the living room in Cocteau's home in Milly-la-Foret! It was actually... dare I say it? Obsessive. Like, whoever put this together had managed to find my Jean Cocteau limit.
Oh, but that didn't stop me from taking pictures... with permission, of course.
The display here explained that the house in Milly la Foret is soon to be opened to the public.
Here, a recreation of Cocteau's living room, complete with fake palm tree. A continuous video showed images of the home then and now.
In the living room. I don't wanna know.
This is the cover of the menu. I wonder if Cocteau would have found this amusing or just plain crass. I'm torn myself.
