From parks to plays to pools, amusement for the family on the French Riviera.
Here are some amusements to entertain the family throughout the French Riviera, in Cannes, Nice, and St. Tropez:
Cannes
Parks and Playgrounds:
At the west end of La Croisette between the Palais des Festivals and the beach, is a shaded grassy park area with a playground, including slides and other equipment. You’ll find a real carrousel there, and sometimes in the summer an even bigger one is set up out on the Esplanade in front of the Palais.
At the east end of La Croisette, just before the new Port Canto Yacht Harbor, is another park and playground. This one also has carnival-type rides for the bigger kids.
Besides the playground, at the east end of La Croisette is the Jardin Alexandre the Third, a lovely large park filled with flowering gardens.
Cannes Bowling
Billiards
Open: 7 days a week, starting at 3pm
Swimming Pools:
These are open to visiting families. Call ahead for hours of operation and bring your own towels and bathing caps.

Absolutely love this list of Mardi Gras celebrations outside New Orleans! Each destination seems to offer its own unique blend of culture, music, and vibrant festivities. While I’m tempted to explore them all, I can’t help but dream of experiencing the colorful chaos of Mardi Gras in Goa, India. Exploring India’s rich cultural tapestry during this festive season would undoubtedly be an unforgettable adventure. Thanks for inspiring wanderlust with these fantastic recommendations!
