Cannes, France (stay 1)

January 26, 2018April 21, 2018 By Scott

Accommodation

We were able to negotiate a great 3 bedroom apartment that is walking distance to The Suquet and Old Port. The apartment is on the top floor (third) with plenty of skylights which bathes the apartment with sunshine. It also included a garage for the car which was a bonus. All restaurants and the waterfront is only 10 minute walk away.

Urban Trail Race

This race, as the name suggests, mixes running through the city of Cannes plus hitting the trails. Scott entered the 26km race and Adele the 8km.

This race covers the areas: Palais des Festivals | Mairie de Cannes | Notre Dame de l’Espérance | Escalier Continental | Cimetière des Brousailles | Vues des Iles de Lerins |Vue sur le Massif de l’Esterel | Croix des Gardes | Bord de Mer .

Enjoy the pics below.

Starting line for the 8km (Adele) and 26km (Scott)
An interesting band on the start line
Sand? Didn’t expect this
We expected different terrains but not sand
Sunshine
Scott was cruising until we the hit the hills
Even had to climb on old funicular tracks
Just keep running
Snow capped mountains in the distance but a lovely sunny day in Cannes
Getting close to home I think
The best food and drink station EVER! If there was wine, Scott would of happily finished the race here
An interesting part of the race was running up the red carpet
This is the closest Scott will get to the red carpet in Cannes
Very cool to run on stage at the end of the race
Thanks Oscar for getting me across the line
Oscar, the medal is not food
Scott is happy, not sure about Oscar
What a great way to explore Cannes. Well organised and lots of fun
The water was much colder than I expected
Cold water great for sore feet

Oscar

Oscar desperately needed a haircut but many of the dog groomers were booked out for weeks but luckily we found one before we left Cannes and Oscar met his doppelganger

Will the real Oscar raise your paw?
Hello doppelganger

Wine to eat food too

Cannes has many great restaurants as you would expect but this one was one of our favourites, Au Pot de Vin. You come into the restaurant and view the menu of the day. Then, you go next door to the wine cellar and choose your wine. This is the most extraordinary cellar, with wines ranging from 20 euro to several thousand euros. Mark up for the restaurant is roughly 25 per cent, as opposed to the 300 percent that you get in most restaurants.

So much choice. The wine cellar is next door to the restaurant. You go in, pick your wine and they serve it at your table
Cheers
