Air Conditioner
The controller for the central air conditioning system is in the sitting room, above the main light switch. Press the “RUN/STOP” button to start / stop. The temperature in the sitting room is adjusted using the two “TEMP” buttons on this panel.

Leave the mode on COOL and set the temperature between 19°C and 22°C

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE AIR CONDITIONER TO HEAT THE APARTMENT. SEE HEATING BELOW.

Electricity
If the electricity goes off, check the main trip switch to the right-hand side of the apartment door. If this is in the “on” position, check the individual fuses in the fuse box under the hallway table.

If the electricity goes off in the common parts of the building the main trip switch is to the right of the front door to apartment 1.

In any event please contact Michael.

Hair Dryer
You can find a hair dryer in the drawer in the bathroom.

Heated Towel Rails
The bathroom and the shower room have heated towel rails. These have been fitted because even in the high summer towels remain damp. These are on a timer to come on from 06:00 to 10:00, 13:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 22:00. We suggest that, particularly in the summer, you keep the doors to the bathroom and shower room closed. The radiators can get very hot so please be careful.

Gas
If you smell gas, turn off the main isolating valve which is in the box outside the apartment door, to the right-hand side as you are facing the door. Then call Michael.

Heating
To turn on the central heating (radiators), go to the boiler in the kitchen, which is to the right of the cupboard above the hob. To operate the heating simply press the button with the little radiator symbol below it to turn it on and press again to turn it off. The boiler will immediately fire up. Generally, you will find that 30 to 60 minutes is sufficient to heat the apartment for the evening. Please do not leave the heating on when you leave the apartment or overnight.

Hob
The electric hob is induction and is very straight forward. Touch the on/off button for about a second and then use the + and – buttons for the desired ring to raise or lower the temperature. The full instructions can be found in the manual here. Please use the extractor fan when using the hob. This is activated by pulling the extractor unit towards you.

Dishwasher
To operate the dishwasher, fill the holder with powder and close the hatch. Press the on switch number 1 in the image below, press the 45° button, number 7 in the image below, press the START button, number 8 in the image below. Then close the door. The unit is very quiet but a red light shining on the floor indicates that the unit is on. When the red light goes off the dishwasher cycle has finished.

To operate the oven push the left-hand button and select the desired operation:

• Eclairage – Lighting
• Micro-ondes – Microwave
• Micro-ondes + Chal. tournante – Microwave + Fan Oven
• Micro-ondes + Grill – Microwave + Grill
• Micro-ondes + TurboGril – Microwave + Turbogrill
• Chal. tournante – Fan Oven

We suggest that you use one of three settings; Micro-ondes, Chal tournante or Grill.

Fan - Oven: To use the oven select Chal. tournante, push the right-hand knob, and with the right-hand knob select the desired temperature.

Iron and Ironing Board

The iron can be found in the cupboard under the window in the kitchen. The ironing board is in the right most upright cupboard in the kitchen.

Alexa

In the kitchen is an Amazon Alexa Echo Dot. He will also respond to various other commands such as:

• ALEXA start my day. This will give you local weather and world news.
• ALEXA play Riviera Radio on Tunin. This is quicker than using the Sonos but only available through the Echo Dot.
• ALEXA what is the weather forecast.
• ALEXA play the BBC news (insert your chosen source of news: CNN, New York Times, Financial Times etc) flash briefing.
• ALEXA stop. To stop Alexa from continuing.
• ALEXA set a timer for mm ss.

The list is almost endless. Google will give you many ideas but here is a good curated list by Business Insider.

Activities

Most people's reason for coming to Cannes is to relax on the beach and soak up the sun and if you are looking for a private beach we highly recommend our favourite Mademoiselle Gray.

However in case your looking for other things to do in and around the area, here are a few suggestions.

Old Town - Le Suquet

The old part of Cannes, is well worth a visit. Parts of Notre Dame d'Esperance church date from the early 16th century. The views are lovely.

There are one or two nice restaurants on the rue Meynardier, I am not very keen on most of the restaurants in this part of the town.

Iles Lerins

The Iles Lerins off the coast of Cannes are delightful to visit and we highly recommend a trip over to them during your stay. There are two main islands the Ile Saint Marguerite and the Ile Saint Honrat.

The ile Saint Honrat is home to Lérins Abbey. To quote the Cannes Tourist Office: "The island was founded by Saint Honorat in the 5th century. It exudes an air of spirituality and boasts vestiges of the past (monastery, fortifications, chapels). The island is owned by a commune of Cistercian monks who grow vines and produce a reputable wine."

Also within the abbey is the La Tonnelle restaurant. A delightful restaurant set on the North side of the island.

Tennis

Villa Ephrussi

The Villa Ephrussi and its gardens is one of the most magnificent villas on the whole of the Cote d'Azur. The Villa Ephrussi was built in the early part of the 20th century with construction commencing in 1905 and Baroness Beatrice Ephrussi (nee de Rothschild) moved in in 1912.

The villa, both exterior and interiors, and the gardens are equisite and are well worth a visit.

The villa is 30 minutes on foot from Beaulieu sur Mer station and there is also parking at the villa

Cannoeing

Canoeing in the Baie de Cannes - what fun. Canoes can be hired at the Palm Beach end of the Croisetter for a very reasonable €35 per day from Kayak iles Lerins.

Running

If you are a runner it does not get much better than running along the Croissette in Cannes. My usual 5 kms route can be found here. For something longer Theoule and back is almost exactly a half marathon!

Restaurants

For a guide to our guide to restaurants in Cannes and surrounding towns on the Cote d'Azur please visit the restaurant guide on the web site.

Shops

The main shopping in Cannes is on the Croisette and the rue d'Antibes and the streets running between them. Though there are some interesting shops to be found on the streets to the north of the rue d'Antibes. It is bounded on the West by rue du Marechal Joffre and on the East where the rue d'Antibes meets the Boulevard d'Alsace.

Where to start? Cannes has it all. From the most famous names in Haute Couture - you will find Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent, to name a just few, on the Croisette. There are high end jewellers (like Cartier on the Croisette. The famous rue d'Antibes, which is only 50 metres from the apartment is home to countless well know shops and small boutiques alike offering everything from "High Street" fashion (Zara), small specialist shoe shops, of which there are many, to works of art, antiques, home furnishings and beach wear.

Also on the rue d'Antibes you will find FNAC and Darty.

You can find almost everything in Cannes if you search long enough! Just let yourself wander around the streets and you will be amazed at what you can find. Happy shopping!

The first two weeks of July and January are particularly good times for shopping as this is when Cannes holds its annual sales. There are some extraordinary bargains to be had.

Markets

Marché Forville
Absolutely not to be missed is the Forville market (Place du Marché Forville; every morning except Mon). To quote Anthony Peregrine of The Daily Telegraph, "Here is a vast Provençal larder where asceticism comes to die. If you are self-catering or planning a picnic, then this is the spot to head for." There are a myriad of cafes around the market including an outpost of Copenhagan Coffee Lab so why not set off early, take breakfast and spend some time in one of the most splendid markets I have seen in my 40 year of visiting and living in France. This is not just a fruit and vegetable market. There is every food stuff imaginable, fresh pasta, dried spices and herbs, fish (of course), a salt stall, a mushroom seller and fresh flowers. This market has to be seen to be believed.

This is generally considered the best market on the Cote d'Azur. Every day except Monday.

Place Gambetta
On the Place Gambetta, every day except Monday (and as of summer 2018, there are a few fruit and veg stands on a Monday as well) there is wonderful market for fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish, dried meats and much more.
