Share a friendly moment with Chantal. You will discover his favorite places, as well as his daily life in Cannes. Although you don't know each other yet, you will be welcomed as friends. A memorable encounter for sure !
Although each meeting is unique, Chantal enjoys taking the visitors she welcomes on a cultural walk through the heart of old Cannes.
"After retracing the rich history of Cannes, from the Middle Ages to the present day, as well as that of its famous Film Festival, I invite you to enjoy a pleasant stroll through the old town. We will explore the Provençal market and taste its delicious local specialties, before climbing the picturesque streets leading up to the Castre Castle in the heart of Le Suquet, to discover its fascinating history and enjoy an exceptional panorama over the entire city."
By the way, what exactly are Greeters®?
It is a global community of inhabitants who voluntarily welcome anyone wishing to discover a territory from the point of view of a local.
Meeting a Greeter is the promise of a memorable moment with a loving, passionate volunteer and ambassador for their city or region. Greeters enjoy welcoming visitors as they would welcoming friends. They offer their time to discover the places they love, tell their story, their neighborhood or village and share their way of experiencing everyday life.
Don't be mistaken, the Greeter is not a professional guide! The places you will go through are only a pretext to meet and a way to better understand how local inhabitants live. Come alone or in a group of up to six people for a walk or even just for a chat over a drink.
If you believe that travel can be a vector of peace and better understanding between people, meeting a Greeter is for you ! Our community shares the idea that travelling can be a formidable opportunity for a real exchange between populations and visitors and that this should not be exclusively possible as an act of consumption. Do not look for a price, meeting a greeter is 100% free (yes, really !).
