About this audio guide
This guide to the Plage du Midi in Cannes follows the city's appetite rather than its glamour, starting with a humble sandwich sold from blue kiosks on the sand. It wanders from the price of a sunbed on the Croisette to the fishermen's families at Forville market and the Sunday socca oven. Best heard standing on the public sand, facing the Lérins Islands.
