Cannes - In The Know Experiences

Between Nice and Cannes, I prefer Cannes, not only is it the glamour capitol of the French Riviera, but also unlike the rocky pebble beaches at Nice, it has beautiful sandy beaches. It also has its share of glamorous hotels, like the 100 year Carlton InterContinental. Any guest of Provtravel gets a full Champagne buffet breakfast daily, upgrade subject to availability, in room FREE internet and the best of all, free access to the Carlton Beach club and lounges ( normally 60 Euros per day for hotel guests). One of my favorite excursions in Cannes is visiting the old market - Marche Forville. It's open every day until 12 noon, but its best ( if your dates work out) to visit on Sundays. Extra tables are set out and the market offers tapas to munch on during your visit.
                                          Marche Forville Cannes
Hidden away in Cannes la Bocca (the main quarter of Cannes) is the Marche Forville. This is the best Provencal market in Cannes. It is also be considered one of the best, if not the best, on the French Riviera.
This is very much a market for local people. It is virtually tourist free. The Sunday market is a rendezvous for many Cannois. From the local tradesman, restaurant owners and hoteliers to the mayor himself may be seen here mingling and buying fresh local produce. Guests are welcome to the local market for local people
Local merchants and producers pack the covered Forville Market once a week, on Sunday. The best of the newly arrived flowers, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meats and fish are on display and sale here. Most have been caught, grown or produced locally and are of great quality.
This market is a true taste of local Cannes. There is a specific taste of provence and the Riviera here that you can taste and smell. If you want a real feel of the real town, this is the place to get it.

The only warning that should be given is "watch your elbows". The frenzy of local French people reaching for fresh market produce plays havoc on them.




Extra TIP! If you are in Cannes during July/August, the city has ( on weekends) fireworks in the bay and one must take a table at the beach club at the Carlton and watch the fireworks!
