Quai Saint-Pierre, Wharf in Cannes, France

Quai Saint-Pierre is a wharf in Cannes, France, located in the Suquet district. It runs along the waterfront, starting near the bus station and the town hall, and is lined with boats and palm trees.

The quay was built in 1838 with the support of Lord Brougham, an influential English resident. It took its current shape in 1955 and was renovated in 2012 to become mostly pedestrian.

The quay is named after Saint Peter, the patron saint of fishermen, and a small oratory at the end recalls the chapel that once stood there. Fishermen still mend their nets along the waterfront, keeping a link with the past.

The quay is mostly pedestrian, making it easy to walk and enjoy the view. It is a good place to start a walk along the coast or to explore the nearby old town.

Gas lighting was installed on the quay in 1891 for the convenience of sailors. The quay has also served as a filming location, thanks to its views of the port and the old town.
