Cannes & Antibes

Cannes is one of the most legendary of towns along the Riviera, famous for the International Film Festival held in May and home to several super-deluxe luxury hotels. But surprisingly, the main shopping area and old section are down-to-earth, with normal prices and a friendly atmosphere. The nearby beautiful coastal town of Antibes can easily be explored in a couple of hours. Antibes was once a fortified village, like most of the other old towns in the south of France, and has an ancient fort in the harbor with the original wall running along the shore. After wandering through the old pedestrian section, find your way out to Rue des Revennes, which becomes Rue James Close, the most charming shopping lane in town.

Great job! Makes me miss it, although it's rather dead in late Fall and Winter. Thanks for this.

I love the way you enjoy the aesthetics of those old lanes, just enjoying the charm of the place. This film is full of culture.
