Although Cannes' shore doesn't always feature sandy beaches, the water is still beautiful. This is a mere 3 minute walk from my apartment! |
Off-season in Cannes means lots of boats docked. Come summer, the area will be filled with people taking these boats out for the day. |
All lined up in a row. |
After about 10 minutes of walking down a very narrow sidewalk between the sea and some perilous traffic, I reach my destination: a deserted pier. |
The pier leads straight out to the water, with no safety rails! It was calming to be
surrounded by the water, watching the seagulls fly by.

Sitting on the pier. It got a little chilly, but it was worth it! |
Some young kids (maybe like 10 years old?) were taking sailing classes as I walked by. There they are, sailing away! It looks really impressive, no? And they were having so much fun! |
My journeys have really taken me to some breathtaking places.
Is Cannes a city that serves much seafood?
ReplyDeleteOops, I guess I never check comments here! Um, the city is quite touristy, so much of the cuisine is geared towards that (the farmers markets are quite pricey!). I haven't found seafood to be particularly plentiful, unfortunately.
