Description
Discover Cannes for half a day. Enjoy the legendary Palais des Festivals, the old town's folkloric streets and the local market, then head for the Lérins Islands.
The meeting point will be at 09:30 in front of the Palais des Festivals, where you will have the opportunity to pose in front of the legendary red carpet. The guide will tell you all about its exciting history, and then you'll head for the local Forville market, an emblematic place for Cannes locals, as you make your way through the old town's folkloric lanes, browsing the typical southern stalls... Enjoy some free time at the famous Forville market to sample some local specialties (included) with your guide. The next stop is the viewpoint overlooking the Bay of Cannes: a guaranteed spectacle!

You can choose to stay on your own for the rest of the afternoon to discover the island in its entirety, take a swim or visit the fort where the Man in the Iron Mask was held prisoner (entrance at an extra cost of 6 euros), or return with the 1:15 pm shuttle to take some photos and enjoy the local environment.
