Amenities and attractions
The old town, known as Le Suquet after the hill on which it stands, provides a great panorama of the twelve-kilometre beach, and has, on its summit, the remains of the fortified priory lived in by Cannes' eleventh-century monks and the beautiful twelfth-century chapelle Ste-Anne. These house the Musée de la Castre (daily except Tues: April-May & Sept 10am-1pm & 2-6pm; June-Aug 10am-1pm & 3-7pm; Oct-March 10am-1pm & 2-5pm; €3), which has an extraordinary collection of musical instruments from all over the world, along with pictures and prints of old Cannes and an ethnology and archeology section.
You'll find non-paying beaches to the west of Le Suquet, along the plages du Midi and just east of the Palais des Festivals. But the sight to see is La Croisette, the long boulevard along the seafront, with its palace hotels on one side and private beaches on the other. A Good place to buy your own food is in the Forville covered market two blocks behind the mairie, or by wandering through the day's flower shipments on the allées de la Liberté, just back from the Vieux Port.
Strolling on and off the main streets of Cannes - rue d'Antibes, rue Meynardier and the promenade de la Croisette - is like wading through a hundred current issues of Vogue.
