Review & FAQ:

Built by the Romans, Le Suquet is one of the oldest Cannes neighbourhoods and the original site of the modern Cannes. The Romans held the entire area for five centuries, including the islands of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat off the coast of Cannes. Monks had taken over the area by the 12th century and built a castle on top of the hill. The castle is today the Musée de la Castre and houses an art collection donated in 1877 by Baron Lycklama.

Le Suquet is ancient and very charming, with steep cobbled alleys lined with jazz bars, small stores, bistros serving Provençal dishes, brightly colored cottages winding uphill from Vieux Port, Marché Forville’s food stalls and Gothic Notre-Dame d'Espérance church that offers spectacular views over the Bay of Cannes.
