About this audio guide
This guide to the Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes skips the stars and follows the people who make a living from the sand below the promenade. You'll hear a private-beach manager and a worried local resident, and meet the nineteenth-century businessman who opened the town's first sea-bathing establishment. Best heard at the railing, looking down at the loungers.
