Yes we Cannes...buy Chanel!

Getting to Cannes is exciting, you imagine yourself as some famous movie star, your film launching as part of the film festival and you can imagine it as you drive into town. The town is busy, very beachy and the stores scream money, LV, Dior, Prada, Miu Miu and of course Chanel.

We spent the morning wandering around, passing the main steps of the Grand Auditorium at the Casino. However it was obvious that they were taking advantage of the down time after this years festival and the works outside the Casino did bring our film star dream down a few pegs.

It can be tough finding somewhere to eat as there is a lot of tourist haunts offered along the water. We were lucky to find a sweet little cafe, just off the main strip where Stef got to relive a memory from long ago...the pan bagnat. For those, like me that aren't familiar, it is a tuna baguette but it is rated highly in the south and after tasting some, I can see why. Tres tasty.

After lunch it was time for a little indulgence, a purchase I have been building up for since we got here, my Chanel handbag. It was love as soon as I walked into the store. A quick swipe of the credit card and my beautifully gift wrapped purchases, a few presses were in their too, and we were off out of town. Thank you Cannes, you made my day.
