Tight as a Bug in a Rug in Cannes

Where: 20, rue Jean-de-Riouffe, Cannes, France, 06400

Yesterday we warned you that all of France has settled into the south, or at least all the Parisians. The beaches of the Rivera will be beyond packed this month. But, if you must go let us at least send you off with a bit more advice and a little warning.

Unless you have millions to fork out, you are not going to be staying in roomy and luxurious spaces when staying in the major resort towns like Cannes. Take this blogger's warning for example:

The Hôtel Alnea, a charming two-star hotel just a (Sharon) stone's throw away from the Grand Palais, should be listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as "The Smallest Hotel in Cannes." I was in fact able to simultaneously sit on the toilet, wash my face AND take a shower - without moving a muscle. How many world-class hotels can boast such a luxury I ask you?"

Since it's Friday we thought we would try to see the bright side of things. That said, Hotel Alnea is in an ideal location in Cannes and has Wifi, cable TV, French breakfast and all that so aside from being crunched in your room you really can't ask for more (without of course, unloading your savings account). Plus, what better practice than in your tight hotel quarters, to get accustomed to the even more crowded beaches?
