AREA DESCRIPTION
Surroundings of the Miramar are just gorgeous.
La Croisette seaside provides beaches, restaurants and a wonderful view on the bay .La Croisette shopping side provides top international luxury brands shops, fish and Mediterranean restaurants, cafes and terraces...
Life on La Croisette never stops. Summer or winter, it is the same magic easy and cool life. Walking along and taking time to rest on the famous blue seats facing the Mediterranean is almost mystic. Nightlife never stops either : Carlton, Martinez, Majestic hotels have a casino, restaurants and bars often organize evening parties on the beach... It can be electric or very romantic. The other famous shopping street `rue d`Antibes` is at a 2 minute walk from the Miramar. Port Canto where the beautiful yachts are moored is a 5 minute walk.
The city of Cannes is providing numerous buses to allow you to visit the town : they are roofless along La Croisette and the seafront during summertime. The free ‘Elo’ bus will pick you up anywhere in the city, you just need to shake your hand ! You will discover old and typical Mediterranean quarters such as Le Suquet, local Provençal fairs and antique markets on the ‘Place des Platanes’, the ‘Vieux Port’ and a wonderful vegetable and flower market ‘le marché Forville’.
If you want to visit some other great places along the coast, there is also a very good train service. You will also be able to visit some towns such as Grasse (worldwide capital for fragrances), Mougins, Vallauris (worldwide famous potteries with Jean Marais) with regular buses. For art lovers, you will be pleased to discover the Picasso Museum in Antibes, the Chagall Museum in Nice, the Matisse Museum in Vence, the Maeght Foundation in Saint Paul de Vence and the Fernand Léger Museum in Biot. During summertime, you will also find a variety of boat excursions with a departure from Cannes to Antibes, Saint Tropez, Sainte Maxime, Port Grimaud, San Remo (Italia).
FAQ :
* Is a car needed ? :
No, if you stay in Cannes only. As the location is very central, you can walk to all the interesting places to be. Bus n° 8 has a stop down the building. It drives along La Croisette from East to West. For those who want to drive around, there are 2 car renting offices next street.
* Do you provide a garage ?
Yes, the Miramar has its own garage behind the building : to be booked in advance (limited number). Price is €50/week.
* Is there a supermarket close to the renting ?
Yes, there is one called ‘Proxi’ in the street behind the Miramar. There is also a grocery at the corner with the Miramar (Their vegetables are gorgeous !). And there is a bigger supermarket called ‘Casino’ at a 2 minute walk in the direction of the rue d’Antibes.
* Can you advise some restaurants around ?
My favorite one for lunch time is ‘Le Rado’ (pic) on the beach just in front of the Miramar. They serve delicious dishes at a very reasonable price, the view is magic.
For a dreamful breakfast facing the sea and next to the Carlton, I would advise ‘Le Voilier’, a café located n° 61 on La Croisette, in the direction of the Palais des Festivals (Festival Hall).
There is also ‘La maison du Porto’, a very good restaurant with very low prices, located almost in front of the Palais des Festivals (Festival Hall).

Yes, we can organize it at a very reasonable price.
* Do you accept credit card payments ?
We prefer bank transfer, as french citizen cannot subscribe to the US credit card program.

Yes, I will send my laptop screen capture with my last online payment for the water.

Why the Owner Chose Cannes
We chosed to buy this apartment because we had this opportunity to own a condo on La Croisette and because of the beauty of the building : the Palais Miramar was in the past an art deco palace hotel such as the Carlton and the Martinez hotels, it has been sold in apartments after WWII. The environment is very calm (inside the apartment), beaches, luxury shops, cafés, restaurants.. everything at the feet of the building seemed perfect to us. Supermarkets, groceries.. are closed by too.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The major benefit is the rest we can get there as nowhere else. The apartment was designed in the Provence style, it is very romantic, very comfortable, it provides a feeling of being relieved of everything.
Owner's Map of Cannes
