Cannes

Will you have a car? I like taking photos too, and really enjoyed St Paul de Vence - I like taking photos of old doors and narrow alleys and this place was chock full of them.

Hi Nicole,

I'm not sure if we will have a car or not, but I'm thinking that we probably won't. Might rent a scooter though.

If you haven't been to Haut de Cagnes, go. In addition to Renoir's house, it's a lovely hilltop village with great views (photos from there would be great).

I liked the vibe in Juan les Pins more than Antibes, but they are easy to visit together as they're connected by frequent trains and local buses.

When going from Cannes to Nice or destinations further east, the train is about twice as fast as the bus, and therefore much less frustrating (well worth the small extra cost).

Haut de Cagnes might be a little far, if I don't have a car, but Juan les Pins might be nice to check out. Thanks for the suggestions.

Do beware of the film festival, this week's Variety is their Cannes issue so if it's not underway, it's about to start

Years ago we were there for the film festival and it was a lot of fun, though crazy crowded and hard to make restaurant reservations.
