About this audio guide
This audio guide to Rue Meynadier in Cannes looks past the cheese counters and macaron trays to ask who the street is really named for. It follows an old local family, the Meynadiers, across two world wars, and reaches back to the centuries when this lane was simply the Grand-Rue, the road out of town toward Antibes. Best heard strolling slowly among the shopfronts.
