Cannes and Antibes

We both took Wednesday off and went for a day trip to Cannes and Antibes. Cannes is a 30-minute train ride from Nice Ville. Trains run quite frequently. In Cannes, we checked out the film festival venue, which was closed to curious visitors, but there's nothing particularly remarkable in it anyway. Along the promenade, we discovered the most luxurious brands (some of which we had never even heard of) next to hotels and restaurants catering to people who seemed like a different species from us. Then we turned to the nicer part of the old city, and before heading to the train station, we had lunch in a fish shop serving scallop ceviche, fish soup, oysters, and sea urchins (!).

On the way back we stopped in Antibes. We found a much more down-to-earth promenade and a wonderful old town.
