Secure parking in Cannes

What do you call secure?
Plenty of French people with cars just park them on the street or in car parks.

There seems to be a presumption here that parking a nice car in France is somewhat more risky than parking it in the UK.

As a general rule, I have found that French people tend to like and respect nice cars - far more thumbs-up, “belle voiture“, than Vee-signs. I don't think there is the same risk of having it “keyed” as the UK. No one is likely to lift the car for a ride home. It is too noticeable, particularly with RHD.

I supposed organised crime taking nice cars to order and shipping them elsewhere in a container is likely to be at a similar level, but again, a RHD GT3 car is unlikely to be on their list.

Take the car, park sensibly and enjoy your holiday. Presumably, if the worst happens, its insured anyway.

We stayed there a few years ago in a hotel that had the word “ grey “ in the name , I can’t remember what it was called exactly. It had an underground secure car park , there was a lot of nice cars in there .

We stay in the Sun Riviera Hotel, very central, delightful garden and terrace for breakfast, lovely place to stay and not outrageously expensive. They have an underground car park with a massive grille gate which is always shut, very secure.

Just around the corner from the Sun Riviera, which doesn't have it's own restaurant, is our absolutely most favourite resto in Cannes, noisy, full of life and fun, smashing food in generous quantities and not overpriced, La Brouette de Grandmere. We haven't been recently because of the lockdown but it's a family business and always a highlight of every visit to Cannes! Enjoy!
