Waiting for the train to Cannes Our first glimpse of the city The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès building which was built to host the Cannes Film Festival
A closer glimpse of the building Having fun with the cutouts around the Cannes Film Festival building...Hans Solo always was my favorite. ;) Gary standing on the mini walk of fame
A closer view of the handprints from celebrities who have visited the festival Yeah Baby! Walking the La Croisette
The beach at Cannes Another shot of the beach -- lovely! Enjoying the sunny day... a little overdressed for the warm temps but it was a little chilly in Nice when the day started.
Sand carvings on the beach A shot of the guys doing the carvings A few of the high end shops on the La Croisette...I think every high end shop and designer has a store on this stretch of the beach...lots and lots of lovely things if you have lots of money to spend!!
Restaurants on the beach More of the La Croisette Sailboats enjoying the breezy day
The famous Carlton hotel Gary found a Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 in front of the Carlton...it's like his old one and somewhat rare. The mountains beyond Cannes
I can't get enough of the beach views...everywhere you look, it's beautiful! Public pay toilettes in Europe...I still find them somewhat funny. La Suquet, the old town
Getting closer to La Suquet...more steep climbing to get there! Street leading to the old town of Cannes...yep, it's steep too! Bell tower of the Chapel of St Anne
Closer look at the Bell Tower The entrance to the Chapel of St Anne. We toured inside, but pictures were not allowed. View of Cannes from the top of the hill
Sitting on the old walls of the castle Chapel of St Anne Musée de la Castre
Tired from climbing all the steep hills in high heel boots ;) Top of the fortified watch tower
I'm on the top of the world...okay, it's just the top of the mountain, but it's still fun to say Courtyard surrounding the watchtower View from the top...viva la France!
Looking down on the old town and castle area View of the Cannes harbor Look at the snow-capped mountains in the background...it's cool to see the ocean and snow-capped mountains so close together
Standing with the flag It's so high up! You can see everything from here! Our self portrait...yes, it was windy up there and yes, that is hair all in my face. ;)
Gary snapped a shot of one of the sea gulls flying above us This is the tower on which we were standing in the previous pictures...it was used for years to protect the castle and send messages/signals to other towers. View of the courtyard and Castle museum
Descending from the hill in old town Markets and shops in Cannes...this was a great pedestrian only area filled with clothing stores and pastry and chocolate shops...yummy!

    [...] Afterwards, we hopped on the train to Cannes and spent most of the day there. Cannes is a beautiful city, and it’s one of the most famous on the French Riviera because it hosts the annual Cannes Film Festival. During the festival, celebrities flock to the city to promote their films, but we didn’t see any during our visit. We did see some great sights though…check out the pics below and in the Cannes Album. [...]
