DON'T MISS
Take a walk down Cannes' famous Boulevard de la Croisette - shop and the take in the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean sea, before settling down for a drink and some sumptuous fare.
THINGS TO DO AND SEE
GRAB A BITE
If you made it to Suquet Hill, then stop by at Mantel and sample the sea bass - the restaurant is simple but sophisticated and has a distinct Mediterranean feel to it. There are plenty of Michelin starred restaurants in Cannes as well as Monte Carlo, but sometimes to get the real flavor of the local food a smaller bistro is best!
SHOPPING
Designer boutiques abound along the Croisette in Cannes as they do in Monte Carlo Avenue des Beaux-Arts. But the thrill would be to walk into the little boutiques and stumble up on knick knacks that you won't find in the designer shops!
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Temperatures are a pleasant 62°F/20°C in the month of May and the heat turns up to a ho 82°F/29°C at the height of summer in August after which the temperatures start falling again. November can get cold as winter is then round the corner.
LOCAL CURRENCY
The Euro is the currency in use. Major credit cards are accepted most everywhere.
