Our Tip: Save Cannes for After the Wedding! We highly recommend exploring central Cannes from Monday, June 28th onwards. The Cannes Lions Festival takes place the week leading up to our wedding, meaning many of the beach clubs along La Croisette will be closed to the public for private events, with some taking additional time to reopen. Things to See & Do Shopping: Explore Rue d'Antibes for a mixture of high-street shops and boutiques, or La Croisette for luxury designer stores. Le Suquet (Old Town): Wander through Cannes' charming old town, filled with cobbled streets, little restaurants, and beautiful views over the harbor. Marché Forville: A lovely traditional French market filled with fresh produce, flowers, and local specialties. A great spot to explore in the morning. Favorite Beach Clubs: Mademoiselle Gray, Carlton Beach Club, La Plage du Martinez, La Môme Plage, Copal Beach
