==='''A General Overview of the Cannes area===

#'''The Suquet''': known as old town, is the historic area of Cannes, it is where the bus station is and also has many restaurants, which most are not cheap. It has one street near the bus station that goes up the hill, no cars allowed with restaurant after restaurant. Also the Forville outdoor Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Market is open most mornings. Be advised the prices even here are not cheap. The best place in the Suquet to shop is Rue Meynadier. The best Italian Restaurant in Cannes is in the Suquet and is called La Piazza.
#'''The Croisette''': Is along the beach and has The Palais where most of the Festivals take place. It also has very expensive shops and restaurants, some in luxury hotels whose menus do not have prices, because if you saw them you would faint. Also many of the beaches in this area are private, owned by the hotels and often there are private parties held on these beaches.
#'''Cannes Centre''': Where the Rue d'Antibes, the main shopping boulevard of Cannes is located. This street has more shops, stores and restaurants than almost any shopping boulevard I know. Many of them are not cheap, but it is nowheres as expensive as the Croisette and can't compete for the bargains you find on Meynadier. Gambetta Square near the train station has some good prices at its morning fresh fruit and vegetable market, but the better prices are in the flea market next to it that sells everything from clothing to flowers and cheeses. The best deal as far a restaurant food in Cannes can be found at Saveurs du Chef at the end of the Rue d'Antibes.
#'''The Californie''': Is a beautiful hilly region just after the Fountain separating the Banane region from the expensive villas in the northest of Cannes.
#'''The Palm Beach''': Area is a Pennisula jutting out south at the end of the Banane and has some very nice views and a large Casino which holds late night events during some of the festivals.
#'''La Bocca''': Is west of Suguet and has a lot of public beaches, including volleyball courts and other recreation. La Bocca is an area that is cheaper to live, but does not have the feel and influence of Cannes Centre.
#'''Le Cannet''': North of Cannes Centre and the Banane has the Boulevard Carnot as its main street which moves north into a very highly populated part of Cannes. This is where most of the people live and where most of the schools and other facilities for the public are. Like in La Bocca things are cheaper in Le Cannet.
