Le Suquet, Medieval quarter in Cannes, France.
The narrow cobblestone streets of Le Suquet wind up the hill, lined with centuries-old stone houses and traditional restaurants with outdoor seating.
The Romans established their settlement on this hill in the 2nd century, followed by the construction of a fortress in the 12th century.
The Notre Dame d'Esperance church, completed in 1627, stands at the summit and contains Renaissance artworks and detailed stone carvings.
Visitors can reach Le Suquet by taking the electric bus service or walking five minutes from the beach through Rue Saint Antoine.
The Suquet des Artistes gallery occupies a former morgue building, presenting rotating exhibitions of contemporary local artists throughout the year.

The French Riviera between Monaco and Saint-Tropez features a diverse architectural heritage reflecting centuries of history. Visitors can explore medieval villages such as the historic center of Grasse, known as the perfume capital since the 16th century, or Saint-Paul-de-Vence, home to the Maeght Foundation and its modern art collection. The region also has Belle Époque buildings like the Negresco Hotel in Nice, along with 20th-century architectural creations such as the Palais Bulles in Théoule-sur-Mer. Mediterranean gardens are another attraction along this coastal area. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat has nine themed gardens with vegetation suited to the local climate. The Bastide du Roy in Antibes preserves its geometric gardens and century-old olive trees. The coastline offers several vantage points overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, notably from the Le Corbusier Promenade connecting Cap Martin to Monaco over two miles, or from coves like Coco Beach where rocks and pebbles enable swimming and marine life observation.
