ONE DAY IN CANNES, FRANCE WITH KIDS FROM A CRUISE SHIP — Everything You Need to Know!

Cannes was honestly one of the BIGGEST surprises of our entire Mediterranean cruise and we ended up loving it way more than we expected. In this video I'm taking you along for our full one day in Cannes, France with our 3 year old and 11 month old, from the tender wait (yes, we talk about the 2-hour situation!) all the way to Aperol Spritzes at a beach club on the French Riviera. Spoiler: it was absolutely magical and one hundred percent worth getting off the ship.

We rode Le Petit Train through the whole city, wandered the Forville Market, had an incredible French lunch, found the most amazing crepe, did a little shopping along the Rue d'Antibes, and spent a dreamy afternoon at a beach club on La Croisette. This is your complete honest guide to one day in Cannes from a cruise ship with kids!
