A trip to Cannes, France. Mar/Apr 2026

Took in Cannes for a week (late March, early April).

Weather was extremely pleasant with a cool breeze being a constant over the 6 days I was there. Having spent a week there in July 2025 in the 30C temp range that I found a little unbearable, it was a welcome change to be able to walk around all day and enjoy without the temperature being an issue.

Cannes straddles the city/beach vacation extremely well, with there being enough of either to satisfy whatever side of the fence you are on.

It’s as picturesque at night as it is in daylight and I’ve found it to be an extremely welcome and friendly place. General cost of eating out seems similar to larger cities like Paris, London.

Overall, a great trip with lots of highlights that included the food, friendliness and weather.

Happy to answer any questions would be visitors might have :)
