A Perfect Day In Cannes

9.00am

Breakfast
Instead of having breakfast in your hotel, head to Café Lenôtre (63 rue d’Antibes, www.lenotre.com ) for a croissant and a crème (milky coffee) or, if you’re on a tight budget, grab a pavement seat outside one of the boulangeries on rue Meynadier.

9.30am

At the market
Rub shoulders with top chefs while you check out the wonderful local produce – look out for courgette flowers and Mediterranean fish – at Marché Forville, one of the most animated and colourful markets on the Riviera.

10.00am

Up the hill
Walk up cobbled rue St-Antoine in Cannes’ old town, Le Suquet, and head to the Musée de la Castre to see its collections of primitive art and musical instruments. On the way, don’t forget to admire the views across the bay.
