France
I went to Cannes in the French Riviera and that was wonderful! I rented a flat, 50m from the beach, at a budget price.
The owner is a lovely granny who rent for a month or more. That's really hard to find in the French Riviera.
We could go to the beach on foot and wash after at the flat, it even has a bath for the children. We had breakfast seeing the sea and we had dinner on the big balcony (weather is blamy at night in this area).
I really recommend it. It was a great holiday.
The flat: Avenue de Lérins, 06400 Cannes, France

Restaurant on the seafront serving quality local dishes with oriental twists.
Boulevard de la Croisette
One of the best sleek hotels on the Croisette. The room with balcony was immaculate. The service was great. The only slight disappointment was the food, which I found overpriced for the offerings.

Great restaurant for grilled fish. Ate here twice. Found the service a little lacking at times for the calibre of restaurant, but food made up for it.

Elegant seafood restaurant serving great paella. Service was some of the best I've found in Cannes

The folklore surrounding the city of Cannes and its adjoining islands is
every bit as romantic as the city itself.
Outstretched palm trees lean across the beautiful sea front and the famous Cannes film festival witnesses the arrival of thousands of movie stars and film critics each year. The signature Palm D’Or of the film festival is a reference to the legend of the monk St Honoratus, as according to traditional folklore the monk was praying on the adjoining snake-infested island of Lerins, when God heard his
prayer and instructed him to climb a palm tree while he flooded the land to rid the island of snakes.
Ever since then, the palm tree has been an emblem for the city.
