    Cannes

    The fortunes of a small Provencal port on the French coast of the azure Mediterranean might have been completely different if it wasn't for a cholera outbreak in 1834. Nearly two hundred years later it's questionable whether the British Lord Chancellor who 'discovered' the town during his quarantine there did it any favours. Once a humble 10th century fishing village sliding down the slopes of the surrounding hills to cluster around a little stone harbour Cannes has become just another 'playville' for the grossly rich and famous who revel in the association with their Italianate cultural heroes - Gucci, Maserati, the Glitterati and the Paparazzi.

    If people-watching isn't your thing then you're in the wrong town. In fact you're in the wrong country. If you've got money then you're probably here to be seen or to find out what everyone else is up to. If like the majority of us, the closest you get to high fashion is a pair of genuine timberland boots then you can spend your day watching how the other half live, drooling over the sports cars and leaving grubby nose prints on the enticing plate glass windows of all those designer boutiques. Happily there is a place in Cannes where you can combine all these activities into one, the Boulevard de la Croisette.

    • Nice Market
      The sunny Cours Saleya, in the centre of the picturesque Vieux Nice, hosts a daily market where you can stock up on local fruit and veg, cheese and other specialities. Plants and flowers are displayed until later in the day.
    • The Chagall Museum
      Marc Chagall is often referred to as one of the three patriachs of French art, along with Picasso and Matisse. The artist created the Chagall Museum in the 1970s, designed as a thematic display based on scenes from the Bible, intending to provide the public with a serene location in which to contemplate religion.
    • Parc Phoenix
      Nice's Parc Phoenix is a botanist's paradise. It contains one of the largest greenhouse in the world, numerous rare plant species, a lake and a selection of gardens, ranging from Louisiana-style to the Austral Africa Garden. More than 2500 plant species, some rare, grow here, protected by the Mediterranean setting.
    • Vieux Nice (Nice Old Town)
      Vieux Nice stands in the middle of the buzzing metropolis, providing an oasis of tradition and history much appreciated by the visitor. Based around the Cours Saleya, the maze-like streets of the Old Town are fun to explore, whether one is shopping, eating or simply just enjoying the architecture.
    • Matisse Museum
      Nice's Matisse Museum not only houses an impressive collection of works spanning the artist's career, but also offers a fascinating insight into the character of the man himself and his influences.
