Cannes, France – old town

Cannes old town
Cannes old town

I have recently took my family to France and Italy for 3 weeks and we had a wonderful time there. I have relatives in this beautiful city of the French Riviera (La Côte d’azur as they call it here..).

At first I found it was a little run-down; I remembered it different and fancier when I was a child but then, after spending a few days there we began to appreciate the little things you do not normally see if you move from place to place in a attempt to see it all. Well, we decided to see nothing and just stay!

Good decision.

We loved it so much that we are thinking of retiring in France. With an EU passport that is not going to be a problem 🙂

I just wanted to share with you this little narrow street filled with great restaurants and great crafts on the back of the apartment we have rented.

The street going up and up until you reach the top of the hill and it has some magic atmosphere. Highly recommended.
