You step onto Cannes’ Croisette and the sea immediately claims the edge of your vision: promenade, palms, and the scalloped curve of a harbor that keeps its history in the stone. The guide leads you along the Chemin des étoiles; footsteps of film and festival mingle with the salt air as the coach peels away toward the Cap d’Antibes, where pine-scented headlands guard small rocky coves.

Wear sturdy shoes
