Valbonne
Take ligne 630 bus to Valbonne, a medieval village inland from Cannes, beloved by the Brits since Princess Margaret holidayed there in the early Sixties. Many own homes in the surrounding area but don’t let that put you off!
Be
sides ogling the architecture, there are lots of small and interesting shops to browse around. If going for lunch one is spoilt for choice. Try the upmarket Lou Cigalon (closed Sunday and Monday) at 32€ set lunch, the Café des Arcades in the main square which also does great pizzas, and the Café Ratin with its large shady terrace. If you have a car you can visit in the evening – try dinner with live jazz every Friday and Saturday at La Fontaine, rue du Rocher.
