Train station (Gare SNCF Cannes)

by Elainehead

Like many train stations in France, this place looks dirty (I'm sure it is)...but you will only have to be here, if you have a train to catch (DUH!). It's the fastest way to get to Nice and other cities. If you're taking a local train, there is no need to buy in advance. Instead of queueing and buying your ticket at the counter, use those ticket machines. One-way single ticket to Nice costs 6€10. SUMMER TIP: if it's summer and you're planning to buy a return ticket, prefer buying "carte isabelle", which costs 12€ - do the math! - it's basically an unlimited single day train ticket (local trains along the French Riviera and Ventimiglia, Italy).

If you need to go to the loo, the WC in the station doesn't have a lock, so you'd better have someone to guard the door.

If need tourist information, there's a small tourism office just outside the station (left side as you leave the station).

Promenade

by codrutz

The promenade in Cannes is pretty similar to the one in Nice, a little bit smaller but still very long and enjoyable to walk on. No trees on the sea side so attention in summer days you need absolutely to wear sun shades and a hat to avoid the heat directly in the head.

Le Suquet clocktower and museum

by NiceLife

Crowning the vantage point at Le Suquet Brilliant vantage point for panoramas to the east overlooking the town and beach, and to the west looking up the Golfe Madelieu towards the Esterel. Within the courtyard is the marble bench dedicated to one of Queen Victorias sons who died in Cannes. The museum appears permanently closed for lunch.

MIDEM Festival

"Evander Holyfield and Al"

This was scary, walking up to this dude and asking for a picture together with him. Funny though, check him out, he's smaller than me!
One of my friends said it looked like I could kick his butt. Well. I don't agree.
