Cannes

I was in Cannes this week at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, held in the conference centre next to the beach.

Cannes Beach Croisette

While the daytime was all work (honestly), I used the evenings to explore Cannes, walking along La Croisette promenade, climbing up through Le Suquet to the Tour Castres, eating wonderful fresh seafood - the best was Astoux & Brun near the Vieux Port.

Antibes is only a 15 minute train ride from Cannes, so I went for an explore there one evening. It was nice to sit outside a cafe drinking beer on a November evening. Can’t do that in Glasgow. And again, I was able to discover a good small restaurant which served really good fish.

    John, looks lovely. Wish I’d been there. Some of our work were in Monaco the other week whilst I was up in Newcastle. Bet you were warmer! ;)

    Beautiful - 20 degrees and blue skies during the day; dropped to around 14 during the evening, still warm enough to sit outside with a jumper and coat.
