Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

The Cote d'Azur's most famous resort is Cannes, home to the internationally renowned film festival. Hollywood's hottest movie stars visit each year, and you can follow in their stiletto footsteps as you walk down the famous Boulevard de la Croisette, visit the golden beaches and sample the gourmet cuisine found in outdoor cafes and lively street markets.

The full-day begins when you board the comfortable, air-conditioned motorcoach at the Port of Monte Carlo for the hour-and-a-half ride along the highway to Cannes. Here, your host will be on hand to answer your questions and provide a city map to point out the cultural sights of interest along the way.

Arriving in Cannes, you will have time to amble along the fabled Promenade de la Croisette, the waterfront walkway that is often the focal point for the famous Cannes Film Festival. Enjoy the delightful views across the old port, explore the many fashionable boutiques, and stop a moment at a cafe, the perfect spot to people watch. You will also find a free beach here, near the public gardens.

A short walk from the drop-off point, you'll find charming Le Suquet, the oldest quarter of Cannes. Get lost within its labyrinth of winding cobbled lanes lined with restaurants, and pause to snap a picture of its clock tower and church that overlooks the bay. The area is populated by many of the local fishermen, and you can get a true sense of the local color when you peruse the bustling marketplace that is open most mornings and afternoons.

Finally, history buffs will enjoy the lovely Eglise Orthodoxe Russe Saint-Michel Archangel, a beautiful cerulean blue domed church that demonstrates the influence of the Russian aristocracy in Cannes during the 1800s.

After making the most of this gracious city with its palm-lined boulevard, return to the motorcoach at the designated time and chat with your fellow travelers about all the highlights of your day on the return to port.
