Sur la plage (Derniers Baisers)
--

If Monaco is essentially cosmopolitan, Cannes is all French.
Everybody owns a tiny white dog that has been thoroughly combed.
Creperies and lingerie stores line the streets.
The air is thick with the smells that pour from the bakeries, cheese sellers and wine shops.
And I saw a young Madame carrying two baguettes in her purse.
It looks, sounds, smells and feels French. I'm willing to bet if you tried biting a bit of Cannes off, it would taste French too.
