Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Quai Saint-Pierre, 06400 Cannes, France
Buildings of three and four stories in the Italian style lean up against the Suquet hill, which provides a scenic backdrop to the quay. Along the Old Port side of a two-lane road and a large walkway, a row of restaurants extend their terraces onto a wide sidewalk-promenade lined with palm trees at the base of the buildings.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Rue du Suquet, 06400 Cannes, France
When people think of Cannes, they often think of the hilly, meandering, cobblestone street lined with local eateries on Rue St. Antoine, which is located in Le Suquet, the ancient town.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: 6 rue du Marche Forville, 06400 Cannes France
Located at the district's lowest point, Marché Forville is a top-notch covered market on the Riviera. Within the market's expansive premises is a section devoted to fragrant flowers.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Rue Meynadier, 06400 Cannes France
Horses and carriages have been using the Rue Meynadier since the 16th century. Today, only pedestrians use it, and they do so to follow their whims down a bustling retail street where the butcher sits next to the cheesemaker and the fashion boutiques are surrounded by the local products. Give in to its allure and let yourself be charmed by the locations that will lead you directly to the Suquet.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Marche des Allees de la Liberte, 1 Allees de la Liberte, 06400 Cannes France
The Allées de la Liberté are situated in the very center of the city, at the foot of the city's historic area, between the recently refurbished Cours Félix Faure and the Pantiero promenade. They represent the inseparable marriage of the city's local origins and its openness to the world.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Palace of Festivals and Congresses of Cannes, Palais des festivals et des congrès de Cannes, 1 Bd de la Croisette, 06400 Cannes, France

Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: La Croisette, Promenade de la Croisette, 06150 Cannes France

Duration: 19 minutes

My husband and I were visiting Nice as part of our river cruise. We had a local guide who took us on an excursion of Cannes, Antibes and St. Paul de Vence. What a wonderful time we had in the beautifully luxurious, fascinating, photographic Cannes with lots to see and experience. The seaside promenade, the Boulevard de la Croisette was simply "The Place" to see, enjoy and spend time photographing the magnificent hotels, exclusive boutiques, antique shops, galleries, and nightclubs. One of the most beautiful sites, except for the azure blue sky, water, golden sandy beaches, is the casino with all the luxurious cars parked outside and people dressed to the "hilt". And although Cannes is not particularly famous for its religious side, however, it does feature a good number of beautiful churches with impressive architecture. There is so much to see in Cannes besides the Film Festival. We did not have enough time here but we will definitely be back to spend at least a day or two. This is a place you don't want to miss!riccardaa2023

This walking tour took us through the La Croisette promenade and also other places such as Marche Forville. It was nice that the tour guide was a native of Cannes and was able to tell us about the glamour that surrounds Cannes. We took photos for our memories of Cannes.
