Don't go to Cannes during the film festival
On Wednesday we went
into Cannes; again by ourselves. We hopped a Petite Train but this one was not
nearly as charming at Villefranche. Cannes was jammed because this is one of
the weeks of the Cannes Film Festival. We were turned away from several hotels
because we weren’t staying there and I think they wanted to protect the
celebrities from the plain folk.
After the train ride
we went looking for something to eat. I wanted French Onion Soup and French
bread. Guess what, folks. French Onion soup is an American creation, I think. I
checked at least 15 restaurants (they all have their menus on the sidewalks so
passers-by can read them) and found nothing but fish soup. I finally asked the
owner or something of the restaurant in which we finally ate and he said no;
only fish soup. Oh, well.
