French Riviera: Cannes.

While in the Riviera, we took the train to Cannes for the day. The film festival was actually being held while we were there. We didn't see any famous people, that we know of, but it was still a gorgeous city. 


We had not expected it to be such a sunny, gorgeous day, so none of brought our swim suits. Sister & I promptly fixed that problem by stopping in a cute little French suit shop and scoring 2 super cute, super cheap new suits to rock for the day.


We walked around, looking for a place to grab lunch and ended up settling on a little modern cafe. Sister and I ate, changed and then staked our spot out at the beach and got our tan on. The entire time, I think we were both just thinking how surreal it was to actually be sitting on a beach, in Cannes! The guys checked out the casino and walked on the red carpet that you see the stars on while in Cannes.


After a couple of hours, we all met back up to do a little shopping. Along the way, I spotted a macaron shop, Jean Luc Pele's and I rarely pass up a macaron. ;) Sister tried her first macaron and I recommended it be of the salted caramel variety. Needless to say, now she is as hooked as I am on anything salted caramel. :)


After shopping and our sweet snack stop, we had dinner before getting on the train back to Nice.


Cannes was absolutely gorgeous and the beach was especially great!
