When you think of Cannes, you immediately think of its famous festival, fine sandy beaches and luxurious hotels. However, this city on the Côte d’Azur is not limited to these glamorous aspects. There is a neighborhood that is little known to tourists, authentic and popular: La Bocca. Follow me to discover this other side of Cannes, where locals live and, who knows, you might meet some great people!
La Bocca is a neighborhood to the west of Cannes, once populated by fishermen and workers. Even today, a popular spirit persists, with its daily market that attracts both locals and curious visitors. You will find fresh and local products there to treat yourself or prepare a picnic to enjoy on the beach.
Although less known than those on the Croisette, La Bocca Beach also has a lot to offer. Bordered by fine sand and crystal clear waters, it is generally less crowded and allows you to enjoy the sun and the sea in a calmer and more family-friendly setting. In addition, you will find many restaurants and snacks by the sea to satisfy your hunger pangs.
For a different shopping experience than that offered on the Croisette, take the main street of La Bocca. You will find a multitude of boutiques, small shops and local artisans. It is the ideal place to find original and typical souvenirs of the region, such as Provençal earthenware or local gourmet specialties.
Located between the Bocca district and the city center of Cannes, the Croix des Gardes natural park is a preserved expanse of greenery, ideal for walks and hikes. Take advantage of its landscaped trails, its viewpoints of the sea and the freshness of its forests to spend a pleasant moment in the heart of nature. There is also a superb fitness trail for outdoor sports enthusiasts.
Although La Bocca is not the most famous district of Cannes for its nightlife, it is home to a few bars and clubs where locals meet to dance and have fun. For example, Macumba is a club offering Latin and salsa evenings for passionate dancers. The district also includes a cinema, a theatre and sports facilities to entertain you as you wish.
La Bocca is also famous for its many cultural and festive events throughout the year. The best known are the Fête de la Saint-Jean in June and the Fête de la Sainte-Marguerite in July, with their bonfires, concerts, folk dancing and other entertainment for young and old.
In short, it is important not to reduce Cannes to its image of a chic and luxurious city. The La Bocca district will offer you a different and authentic experience, which will allow you to understand the life of the people of Cannes and discover another aspect of this enchanting city. Far from the glitter, you will enjoy simple, friendly and warm moments. And don't forget, the main thing is to enjoy and create unforgettable memories!
