Cannes History & Architecture Highlights - Half Day Walking Tour

You must have heard “Cannes Film Festival” at least once in your life. Cannes actually hosts numerous international festivals throughout the year, which makes the city popular among celebrities, business leaders and tourists from all over the world. It is a perfect destination for the jet-set but also for history lovers! Behind its bling-bling facade, you’ll find picturesque narrow streets with pastel coloured houses in the old town, and all these hidden corners tell its history. One of my favourite spots is the lookout point atop the Suquet, which offers a stunning view of the iconic Croisette street and the Mediterranean sea! From there you can also overlook the Lérins Islands which flourished in Roman times and recall the fascinating history of Cannes from Antiquity through the Middle Ages to the present day. This tour is ideal for those who want to both discover the glorious face of Cannes as well as go behind the curtain!

Like every ToursByLocals tour, this one is of course customisable too, so contact me clicking on "Message Miaki" to discuss this further.
