The Carnot district is in central Cannes, between the railway station and the seafront. This part of the city combines shopping streets and central squares with the bay’s beaches. It suits travellers who want to alternate between urban walks, visits to the Palais des Festivals and breaks by the coast. Forville Market adds a local touch to exploring the centre, while the Croisette’s palm trees line the Mediterranean.

Cannes railway station is 350 m away and makes it easy to get around the region. Forville Market, 480 m away, is a covered market where you can discover Provençal produce. The Museum of World Explorations, 740 m away, occupies the former château on the heights of Le Suquet and displays art and objects from different cultures. The Palais des Festivals Beach is 600 m away; the Croisette and its beaches extend the seafront walk. Excursions to the Lérins Islands are available from the port.

Cannes can be visited all year round: spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures for exploring Le Suquet, the seafront and the islands. In summer, allow time for swimming and evening walks, when activity centres around the Croisette. You can start the day at Forville Market, continue through the narrow streets of old Cannes and finish on the beach. The nearby railway station also makes trips to Antibes or Nice convenient.
