Frequently Asked Questions

By tender. Ships anchor in the bay and land passengers at the Vieux-Port, right at the foot of the Palais des Festivals. No shuttle, no transfer: the Croisette starts fifty metres from the pier.
The red steps of the Palais des Festivals, the Croisette, then up into Le Suquet and the Forville market. The whole day is walkable; allow twenty minutes from the Vieux-Port to the far end of the Croisette.
Yes, they are carpeted in red all year and photos are free. Around the building, the Allee des Étoiles du Cinéma keeps the handprints of hundreds of stars set in concrete.
Two kilometres of curving boulevard: century-old palms, private beaches and Belle Époque palace hotels, including the white-fronted Carlton and the liner-styled Martinez. On the sea side, wooden jetties reach out over clear water; the walk ends at the rose garden of Port Canto.
Yes. Public beaches, including Plage du Midi past the Vieux-Port, welcome swimmers at no charge, alongside the private beaches of the Croisette.
The original hill, from before the festivals, when Cannes was a fishing village huddled below its castle: cobbled lanes between ochre facades, shaded squares and family restaurants. At the top, the former priory of the Lérins monks houses the Museum of World Explorations and its twelfth-century square tower.
Every morning except Monday out of season. Cracked olives, mesclun, courgette flowers and fish from the morning catch: the best place to see the town out of its gala costume.
By launch, from the quay next to the tender pier: fifteen minutes to Île Sainte-Marguerite. Crossings run frequently all year, but check the last return sailing against your ship's schedule.
On Sainte-Marguerite, paths under eucalyptus, clear coves and the Fort Royal, where the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask was held; his cell can be visited. On Saint-Honorat, a Cistercian monastery owned by the monks for sixteen centuries and eight hectares of vines; their white wine is sold at the abbey shop.
Rue d'Antibes, one street back from the sea, is noticeably more affordable than the jewellers' windows on the Croisette. The perfumeries of nearby Grasse also make good souvenirs.
