Bussing Around In Cannes

OVERVIEW

Ride around Cannes in a vintage cabrio minibus and while enjoying Mediterranean cuisine and drinks at atmospheric venues throughout the city. To add to the nostalgia of buzzing around in a van that was popular in the 1950s and ‘60s, the driver will be dressed in a marinière, the iconic blue-and-white striped shirt once worn by the French navy. Fittingly, you will first stop at a yacht club restaurant for a cocktail. While driving through Cannes, you will pass the seemingly endless boutiques that line the palm-fringed boulevard La Croisette and head on into the old quarter for a dining experience at the Tredici restaurant. The selections will likely include a French spritz cocktail, petit farcis niçois stuffed vegetables and arancini, a sort of fried risotto street food. Later, you will toast the day with a glass of French wine and tasty tapas at the rooftop bar at Hotel Belle Plage.
