Italy is country of honour at Mapic
With the news of Italy’s problems, it’s probably ironic that it is the country of honour at the upcoming Mapic 2012. I say probably as the turmoil on the money markets will not deter businessmen from attending the major retail trade fair and planning ahead. It must be said: Italy has a remarkable palette of [...]
Where can I find a market in Cannes?
If you’re staying in Cannes, you have to try some of the markets. Marché Forville is perhaps the best known, although there are others worth checking. You can pick up ultra-fresh fish and vegetables, cheap underwear and sunglasses, get some good wine or some cute simili-antiques to bring home (vintage postcards are always a gas). [...]
If you’re on the Croisette, you have to stand out
I’ve seen some pretty cool delegate bags in Cannes. I’ve also seen some bags that fall apart after a few weeks. But in either case, who wants to walk around town with the same bag as everyone else? Come on, you’ve come this far to melt into the masses? I thought not. The Cannes or [...]
Pool Beach proves a hit with Cannes summer crowd
Pool Beach, the private beach that opened recently near the Palm Beach in Cannes, is proving a very big draw. The idea is quite simple: instead of hanging around on a sandy beach, you can hang around a trendy beach club with a pool, bar and restaurant – and of course you soak in the [...]
Apologies for the confusion
We have been adapting the layout of the site. Inevitably, some snafus popped up and we were off-line for a few hours today. It was with considerable dismay that we discovered that no, the world did not stop turning and tweeting while we were off. Even when we stamped our feet with rage at php [...]
Caan on Cannes
British mogul James Caan is know for his appearances on the investment show “The Dragon’s Den”. He is notably a large-scale (and successful) property investor. He also happens to have a holiday property in Cannes. In an article for Britain’s “The Telegraph”, he offers his seven golden rules of property investment. His comments on Cannes [...]
Major work on the Palais underway?
The Palais des festival in Cannes has undergone quite a few changes over the past few years, with the Riviera section being adapted to offer a luxury upper floor with views across the bay. But there has been consistant talk about giving it a more thorough renovation. And true enough, we have heard that the [...]
Turkey to be guest of honour at MAPIC
MAPIC, the annual retail property trade fair held on 19-21 November, is inviting Turkey as the guest of honour. According to industry sources, Turkey has the fastest-growing retail real estate market in Europe. This is clear from its attendance of MAPIC, which has seen triple-digit growth of 176% in accredited Turkish companies compared to the [...]
Jellyfish alerts in Cannes and Nice
Jellyfish – a recurring problem in every Mediterranean country – have been causing problems along the Côte d’Azur. It is reported that in one day, the emergency services received 500 calls for the stretch between Cannes and Nice alone. Local authorities have reacted by installing nets and in some cases “jellyfish hoovers”, boats equipped to [...]
Smoking ban in Cannes?
Heaven for some, hell for others, the smoking ban in cafés, restaurants, “bar-tabacs” and casinos that was introduced in France on January 1 obviously affects Cannes as well. The big question is how vigilantly will it be applied? French cafes and restaurants globally tend to be pretty smoker-friendly. But if a country as strong-headed as [...]
