To the residents of Cannes?

Question

I would like to know what are the favourite spots for residents in Cannes, where you prefer spending your free time in your beautiful city and what are your favourite activities that has something to do with the city. Like, going to the beach or some parks... And could you tell me something more about Cannes, as I just spent a couple of hours there and just walked down the Croisette, nothing more. Could you describe me some other parts of the city? Could you tell me as well how it looks like to be in Cannes during the film festival? Finally, is it safe for a girl to wander around alone at night in Cannes? Thanks.

Answer 2

Cannes is crowded during the film festival, i never go there when it's on because it is driving me crazy. Cannes is a living city with a lot of events through out the year. It has a very nice old part call Le Suquet which is very very nice and typical. The most famous street after la croisette is la rue d'antibes where you can find all the shops. There is also a lot of venue to go out at night most of them are very modern, lounge type and kind of expensive too.

Cannes is safe but you do not want to walk at night too close to the train station, in summer time you have to be carefull with your handbag and stuff as robbers are waiting tourists.
