Iles de Lerins
Two islands a 15-minute ferry ride from Cannes harbour, with pine forests, coastal paths, and a working monastery. The islands themselves are free to explore; only the ferry crossing has a cost.

4 things to see
Cannes is famous for its film festival, but the free beachfront promenade and the climb up to the old town of Le Suquet for harbour views cost nothing. A cheap ferry reaches the Lerins Islands for a low-cost half-day escape. It sits on the same Riviera train line as Nice and Monaco, so cheap regional trains let you base in one town and day-trip the coast. Late spring and early autumn skip the festival-season price spike while keeping the warm weather.

Things to do in Cannes
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
La Croisette
The iconic 2-kilometre waterfront boulevard lined with luxury hotels, palm trees, and sandy beaches. Walking the promenade is free and delivers the full Cannes glamour without spending a cent.
Le Suquet
The old town climbing the hill above the port, with narrow lanes, the medieval watchtower, and panoramic views over the bay. Free to explore and the most authentic quarter in a city built on spectacle.
Marche Forville
A covered Provencal market two blocks from La Croisette selling local produce, cheese, and flowers every morning except Monday. Free to browse and far more interesting than the designer boutiques outside.
