La Croisette

This world-famous street, which runs along the shoreline of Cannes, is full of upscale shopping opportunities.

Reviewed By florinr814 - The Hague, The Netherlands

La Croisette is always an awesome place for summer holidays. Its sandy beaches, the great food restaurants and the luxury shops offer all the ingredients of a perfect stay, althought a bit too expensive.

Old Town

This historic part of Nice feels like a medieval village with narrow streets curving between old buildings with red-tile roofs, small restaurants and open-markets.

Reviewed By NfN270644 - Great Yarmouth, United Kingdom

Large Old Town area incorporating a wonderful flower market, small shops in narrow, historic winding alleys and streets selling anything and everything, thoroughly enjoyable time with great cafes/restaurants full of locals enjoying coffee, snacks and meals.

Chemin de Nietzsche

Reviewed By Hiymei - Lodtunduh, Indonesia

The signs at the bottom of the trail suggest an hour to climb, but if your feeling up for a challenge you can break 30mins. Prepare yourself for 350m of ascent over 1.8km (19% gradient overall). That sounds intense but it's perfectly manageable. The trail itself is well trodden and very easy to follow, pretty much one way up. Strongly recommend walking boots or trail shoes, but trainers will probably be fine in the dry. There are plenty if good photo opportunities of the bay and coastline below. Once you get to the top there is Eze old town which is amazing to stroll around. Enjoy the climb, it's worth it for the view!

Le Suquet

Reviewed By 523jayab - London, United Kingdom

Fantastic area for a leisurely stroll on a summer day. Quite a few cafes and restaurants along the way, which made it easy to stop and refuel. The old cobble-stoned winding streets take you back to the days gone by - the streets have been there for hundreds of years! Oh and don't forget to stop over at La Gelateria to try one of their amazing flavours. Highly recommended.
