Arrived in Cannes: trendy, chic, not as pretentious as you might think then again the film festival wasn't in town but rather a yacht expo, so plenty of rich little beasties around.

The boulevards lining the beach are pretty much crammed with hotels and underneath with every designer name shop you could imagine. the beaches are good but often private so you have to go a little further out of town.

It has a good vibe this place but it would have an even better one if you went there with a couple of spare pennies in the bank....
