Cannes

[SardineJam]

Have found an amazing deal for flights, 4*hotel and breakfast for 1 week for family of 4, in August for just over £1000. I'm very tempted, but wondering if Cannes is any good? Apart from the film festival I don't know much about it - any insight is appreciated

I wouldn’t advise it. We went to Cannes about 4 years ago. It was very dull - focused on the expo crowd, tacky restaurants etc. The old town was nice but nothing to write home about. I wouldn’t go again.

Nice is just up the road and is so much lovelier for a break, nice restaurants and lovely places to potter around.

If you do stay in Cannes the bus services run all up and down the coast for a couple of Euro.

For me, what's important is having a pool to swim in and a beach to relax on so I'm not looking for an activity heavy break but want to ensure there us enough for the kids (will be 6 and 9)

I looked into it once for a family holiday but couldn't find enough to do, so didn't go.

Book it!!! And can you please let me know the link? I can't believe anyone could say there was nothing to do in the South of France!!!! Nice, Monaco, St Paul de Vence, Antibes, Monte Carlo, museums, art galleries, boat trips, markets, fab restaurants, beautiful food and wine, gorgeous beches and amazing weather! Go! Go! Go!
