Meet a Cannes Greeter® | Frederic V

Even if each encounter is unique, Frederic likes to take the visitors he welcomes for a stroll in the Montfleury and Lower Californie districts.

"Far from the very busy modern part of town we will discover Montfleury and Lower Californie districts and mention the “hivernants” (winter visitors)’s incredible lives in palaces and prestigious villas. I will tell you anecdotes about past and present Cannes and introduce my own family documents. My family has been living in this area since 1876 ! "

Another unusual place that Frederic loves... a walk around the Grand Jas cemetery. An act for posterity !
"The Grand Jas is one of the most remarkable cemeteries worth visiting with those of Paris; An evocation of the past, a historic walk filled with anecdotes and surprises about people who chose, or not, to remain in Cannes for eternity."

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 !).
