In my imagination, Cannes must be very fancy and glamorous -- you know, with the world's most prestigious film festival, the red carpets, the Hollywood stars and all that. The truth is that in the absence of celebrities, Cannes is just a peaceful and picturesque beach town. You can leisurely walk along the promenade without being disturbed by thousands of teens act crazily outside the Festival Palace or being stopped for security checks every street corner.

My vacation mode turned on when I arrived in Nice. No plans for the day. No stress about where to go next, when and how. Just a nice retreat to enjoy the rare sunshine of Europe's chilling winter before heading to the more northern parts.
