The Entrepreneur's Travel Log

The South of France was one of my dream destinations. I had always imagined what it would be like to sit on the beach in Cannes. After watching so many movies glamorizing the beaches in South of France, it was a must-see. This area is a beautiful but definitely a tourist-trap.

One of my favorites was Juan Le Tibs, just next to Cannes, where they hold the Cannes Film Festival. The beaches are very different from America. Here the sand is more rocky and you rent chairs or mats. In Juan Le Tibs, we rented mats on the wooden deck overlooking the ocean.


This dock is where we enjoyed the sun -- along with all the top-less sun bathers. Interesting how most of them were over 50. =-) They also had a cafe at the top of the dock where we ordered amazing salads. The had "mat service" and brought them out to us. I loved the cafe & sun concept.

This is our view looking back towards the beach. The water isn't as warm as the Caribbean, but just as beautiful. You can see some of the many hotels near the water.


One of our decadent treats was crepes. We had a hard time finding good crepes, even though they seem to be a French treat. We heard that it is actually more of a street food from Paris. We did find this one cafe in Cannes, right near the famous hotels, that had the BEST crepes ever. Of course, we had to load them up with peaches, strawberries and chocolate. We tried to come back 2 more times and they were closed!
