France

Living it up in Cannes

3/16/2017


I'd stopped in Cannes before on a cruise but never really had a chance to visit since we went straight to Monte Carlo on the train.  I had wanted to try and visit Nice and a few other towns while we were here this time but after getting to the beach, relaxation mode set in and I decided just enjoying a slow, easy weekend basking in the sunshine and warmth (not totally warm but way better than Germany this time of year).  I mean how can you turn down mimosas on the beach in February!? Sign me up ;)

 Cannes is best known for the Cannes Film festival that happens every May. It's a very ritzy town with every high end shopping store right on the main boulevard.  My friends got upgraded to a super fancy hotel and the cocktails at the bar were all over 30 euro! No thanks haha.


 Celebrity hand prints outline the town as well as the famous red carpet. 





















I need my feet in the sand several times a year.... totally my happy place. 


 LOOK AT THESE BLACK TRUFFLES!! I mean good gosh- it was so luxurious with the steak,  arugula and parmesan.... I hope to try and recreate this if I can find the truffle!  
 And no trip to France would be complete without some foie gras.... 

Cannes is about an hour from Nice and we got a quick, direct flight from Munich.  I'll definitely be back to explore this area more!
