The South of France is so where it's at!


_______________________________________________
Cannes doesn't have a port so we had to tender ashore
- it was us and Carnival Splendor, anchored out in the bay



Cannes waterfront..as we tendered in




Locals gather for Sunday Lunch!




Nice town -with interesting little shops
-some of them open, even on a Sunday

Really loved Cannes, there are some lovely walks through quiet little streets and best of all, a wonderful fruit and veg market where you can buy local cherries and peaches for a couple of Euros (really it is that cheap) and then have a picnic. We found if you walked for a couple of minutes away from the main shopping street you could find coffee and ice creams fairly cheaply too.
