Sightseeing
Around 80 kms from Cannes, you will get to the famous Saint-Tropez. It's a highly suggested 1 day trip, leave early in the morning and come back after dinner to avoid traffic.

Take a 1 day cruise to the islands, where the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask was held captive for a time and appreciate the raw and wild Mediterranean vegetation, while being just in front of Cannes.

The other harbour in Cannes, the Canto is a bit more calm and lesser known. I highly recommend to do some yacht-spotting, while drink something seaside and have a nice stroll with less tourists around.

A typical Irish sports bar, full of English-speaking people, especially on sports nights. I recommend their Full Irish Breakfast after a night out.

Five Seas Hotel
1 Rue Notre DameCannes' best kept secret rooftop bar. Don't tell others! :)
This bar is a MUST. Francis Scott Fitzgerald lived in this very hotel in 1926 with his wife Zelda, the piano bar is named after him. Go there late afternoon, order a Mint Julep and experience one of the best sunsets you can have on the Riviera.

Another favourite of mine, grab two long chairs, a magnum of rosé and spend the day there until the apéritif time, when music and animation will start.

City advice
Don't miss
Hotel bars
If you are a fan of cocktails like myself, make sure to visit all the hotel bars on Croisette like the Intercontinental Carlton, Martinez, Majestic Barrière and so on.
Don't miss
Public beaches on the Croisette
I love the beach clubs there, but sometimes you just want to take it easy by going for a quick swim and just lay on the sand. There are 2-3 public free beaches on the Croisette, very hard to miss, just ask for directions.
Don't miss
Supercars spotting
If you are a petrolhead like me, just stroll around the Croisette in front of hotels, you won't be disappointed!
Getting around
Bus stop in front of the apartment
There is a bus stop literally outside the main gate. It should take you downtown, towards the train station.
