Le Cannet

Nestled in the heart of the hills, dominating the bay of Cannes, is Le Cannet - a lovely, peaceful French village, a world away from hustle and bustle of its glitzy neighbour. From its hilltop location, splendid views stretch out to the Mediterranean Sea, and one of the nicest places to enjoy them is Place Bellevue. Here there are many restaurants with terraces facing the sea and Cannes below. Look out for the Heritage Orange Tree, documenting the founders of Le Cannet since 1441. A walk up to the old town of Vieux Cannet is a must. This tiny village of cobbled streets boasts an old church, a lovely wrought iron bell tower and the remains of an old chateau. But, it’s the views that are stunning - 360 degree views of the surrounding countryside, as far as the eye can reach. Finally, make sure you try the famous Le Cannet orange wine – simply refreshing.
