🇫🇷 Cannes Beyond Luxury & Film Festivals

No designer shopping? No red carpets? No problem! Even without the glitz, Cannes has quirky charm—here’s how to enjoy it in half a day: 📍 Quick & Quirky Itinerary 1️⃣ Walk of Fame Spotted Wong Kar-wai’s handprint (others? No idea 😅). Pro tip: His tile is near the Palais entrance! 2️⃣ Castle Hill (Le Suquet) Climb to the medieval tower for the iconic Cannes panorama 📸 3️⃣ Musée de la Castre A colonial-era oddity with: 🥁 Global instruments (press buttons to hear them!) 🖼️ 19th-century Riviera paintings 🏺 Controversial African/Oceanic artifacts (donated by a 19th-c explorer) Free first Sundays 59 4️⃣ Old Port (Vieux Port) Watch mega-yachts + grab a €3 socca (chickpea crepe) from a market stall 🍽️ Eat Like a Local Le Pastis: Casual bistro with €20 seafood pasta 4 Marché Forville: Skip touristy Rue Meynadier—this market has real Provençal vibes (closes by 3PM!) 🚌 Getting Around Walkable! All sights are within 15 mins of each other. Train to Nice: 30min, €10 (perfect for a sunset return 🌅) #HiddenCannes #BudgetTravel #FrenchRiviera
