Playgrounds and things to do with kids in Cannes (10)

Wide trails and big views make this a good break from beach crowds when kids need to run somewhere open.

Old prison cells and island views give school age kids a clear story to latch onto.

Quiet paths, coves and an old monastery make this a slower island day than the busier neighboring option.

The ferry ride, coves and fort make this feel like a real adventure without needing to travel far.

Steep lanes and a hilltop view turn the old town into a little climbing adventure with ice cream as a useful reward.

Fruit, cheese and flowers turn this into a fun food browse, especially if kids get to choose picnic supplies.

World cultures, instruments and the hilltop castle setting give kids more variety than a standard local history museum.

The red carpet steps are the fun part for kids, especially if they like pretending they are arriving for a movie premiere.

Easy paths through forest and mimosa make this a nice cooler option when the beach feels too hot.

Summer lifeguards, showers, toilets and room to picnic make this one of the most practical beach choices with kids.
