Café Hoche

Bistro cooking with pizzas, truffle gnocchi and a wood-grilled steak, in a room of flea-market finds and a big shelf of multicolored spools.

Kid's Club for ages 4 to 12 with art and film activities, a pool heated all year and a private beach, a few steps from the Palais des Festivals.

A good gelato stop is often all the motivation kids need to keep walking through the center.

Twenty-four red-carpeted steps you can climb outside of events, with 150 stars' footprints set into the path around the building.

A relaxed café for breakfast, brunch and a midday break, serving coffee, snacks and drinks all day.

Across from the Palais des Festivals, a sunny terrace with sharing plates, pizzas, prime meats and homemade desserts.
