1. World Explorations Museum – Ch\u00e2teau de la Castre (in town)<\/h2>\n\n

Why visit it? Our review<\/h3>\n\n

Located high up in the Suquet district, this museum focuses on primitive art, Orientalism and Mediterranean antiquities. Formerly known as the Mus\u00e9e de la Castre, it was installed in the remains of the castle of the same name. Classified as a historic monument, it was built in the 11th century. It’s one of the oldest historic sites in Cannes! <\/p>\n\n

We really enjoyed exploring this place, and especially taking advantage of its 360\u00b0 view over the whole city and bay. When we left the museum, we had many fond memories and, above all, many beautiful photos to share with you! So what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n\n
