        CELEBRATING CANNES’ CUISINE

        « Good cooking is the basis of true happiness » said the famous Côte d’Azur chef Auguste Escoffier.

        On the Forville market, in March, local producers, chefs, confectioners, fishmongers, bakers, etc. come together to defend the culinary identity of Cannes. For 15 days, more than fifty restaurateurs and specialists propose specialities in their establishments, with the name Cannes and made from ingredients sourced in the Baie de Cannes and the Pays de Lérins. Tarte cannoise, gravlax made with bonito caught in the Baie de Cannes or Saint-Honorat are now part of the culinary heritage of Cannes’ celebrated cuisine.
