Cannes has something for everyone.... it is popular for clothing shops and has many global high end brands along the Sea front interspersed with an array of 5* hotels..... it is enjoyable for an evening sea walk as the coastal pavement is long and beautifully landscaped with flowers and palm trees.
The Sunday market at Marche Forveille is exceptional, lots of local produce at reasonable prices, ideal time to visit is between 9-10am.
Le Suquet is the old town, on a hill and a winding little alley way full of small traditional French restaurants, excellent cuisine at reasonable prices.
