Outing Highlights

THE ICON

Cannes Film Festival Palace and the red carpet

Step where the world’s stars walk: the Cannes Film Festival Palace is the defining landmark of the city’s festival era and a natural starting point for the tour of the waterfront and old port.

THE PROMENADE

La Croisette and the old port

Wander the palm-lined La Croisette and the adjacent old port to take in Cannes’ seaside energy and harbor-front architecture.

THE DETOUR

Antibes’ old town and the Picasso Museum — or Nice’s markets

After Cannes the route moves inland to Antibes’ charming old town and the Picasso Museum, with an alternative option to visit Nice and its colorful markets for a different slice of Riviera life.
