Black Sails - A Pirate Tavern By Chef LeChat

Basking on the French Riviera, Côte d'Azur enthralls visitors with its glamorous atmosphere, sun-drenched shores, and quaint hilltop villages. From the iconic beaches of Saint-Tropez to the prestigious red carpets of Cannes, the Côte d'Azur pulsates with a vibrant energy. Beyond the glitz, charming fishing villages and dramatic coastal cliffs offer a glimpse into a slower pace of life. Hikers can explore the rugged beauty of the Esterel Massif, while watersports enthusiasts can indulge in sailing, diving, and windsurfing in the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea. This guide includes: - introductory note - places to visit (museums and cultural venues, open squares, beaches and others) - restaurants and coffeeshops - photo spots Get to see more from my travels on my Instagram (@pedralexpereira) and Flickr (flickr.com/photos/pedralexpereira)

Cannes is a beautiful, sea-side city with plenty to do and even more restaurants to choose from. We visited in July and it was (predictably) hot! - I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's pronounced "Can" not "Cans". I know, I've been saying it wrong for years too. All recommendations come with this standard advice. 1. Do the activities/ touristy things early in the morning to both avoid the higher afternoon temperatures, as well as standing around in the heat because of the crowds of tourists. 2. Make a reservation! The restaurants are quaint; if they do have space, they will sit you inside after a super hot day with no air conditioning and you'll sweat it out in a corner. 3. Hydrate. 'Nuff said.
