Notre jour dans Cannes

Lucky day! C was given the day off and decided to spend the better part of it exploring Cannes with me. Our journey began by ambling down a narrow street lined with cafes and little market shops. We stopped at an aromatic boulangerie where we picked out two different quiches and an almond pastry and ate at a table just outside. We continued on in the direction of Le Suquet hill where stands the ancient walls of old Cannes. Up on the hill there are magnificent panoramic views over Cannes. Within the center we visited a small cathedral that was built in 1645 in a Southern-Gothic style. This little piece of old Cannes was enchanting. We strolled along through the long, narrow streets stopping at quaint little shops and browsing the many items offered for tourists such as ourselves. We ended our tour of this part of town with a trip to Le Creperie where we each had a delectable dessert crepe. From there we spent a couple hours wandering the shopping district before retiring for the evening. C had a team dinner tonight and was able to catch up with the UK crew before the work begins tomorrow.
