Review of Ligure, Cannes

Glamorous Cannes

Advantages: Gorgeous, Glamorus, nice weather, beautiful beach
Disadvantages: expensive

Next to the promenade is the Carlton hotel, made famous for being the first location for all the stars to stay in at the internationally known Cannes Film Festival. At this point, my crepe was about to live up its name so I took the opportunity to powder my nose in the very plush toilets of this very luxurious hotel.
