Cruising part 1 (south of France, Italy) (2024 Europe)

Start of the trip is here.

Our first stop of the cruise was in Cannes where we had to tender from boat to the port. D and I had signed up for an afternoon shore excursion that left us a little short on time exploring Cannes. Luckily there wasn’t too much to see in this beachside town. Known mostly for Cannes Film festival and being a destination for the rich and famous to hang out on yachts, we were there during the Cannes Lion festival and there was a big Amazon House there. We walked along the water briefly and then ventured into the small streets of the town. Initially we wanted to check out the local farmer’s market but it was closed that day.

With time running out we elected to get some lunch. We settled on Astoux et Brun where D had the Sole Meunière and I had the Marmite du Pêcheur (essentially a fish soup with various sea food in it in the style of bouillabaiise). Very delicious.
