If you have seen the Cannes sign, the church is nestled on a hill overlooking the city. It looks…read moremore like a medieval, stone castle than a place of worship at first glance. If you're not a Christian or religious of any sort, the church won't look like anything you haven't seen before to be honest. There is a lot of space to take pictures of the church inside and outside, the city and coastline, and the Cannes sign visible to people who walk the city streets below.
To get up there, you have to walk a steep side street that has a fairly large incline. For older people, it might be more taxing and exhausting to expend that kind of energy. That being said, the sights are worth seeing at the top. Cannes doesn't have the extent of attractions a big city would have but this is one of their prime ones so it's imperative to check it out if you're staying here for enough time.
