November in Cannes is the city catching its breath: the Croisette empties, the light turns golden and local life takes over again. From Monday 9 to Sunday 15 November, on the programme: the Forville market, the “Felicità” exhibition in Le Suquet, Sarah McCoy in concert, Michel Cymes on stage and a Sunday symphony concert at the Palais des Festivals, a short walk from our studios. Here are my favourites.

🧺 Forville Market, the heart of Cannes

My ritual: a coffee in Le Suquet, then a stroll between stalls of fruit, olives, socca and flowers under the market hall. In November it feels even more authentic: fewer tourists, seasonal produce (citrus, chestnuts, mushrooms) and stallholders who take time to chat. Closed on Monday: see you from Tuesday morning.

When	Tuesday to Sunday, 7am–1pm (closed Monday)
Where	Place du Marché Forville, Le Suquet
Price	Free

🎨 “Felicità”, Marion Charlet at the Suquet des Artistes

In the old Suquet quarter, Marion Charlet’s canvases bring the sunshine in even in November: lush gardens, architecture and saturated colours, somewhere between real and imagined. A lovely cultural break to combine with the Forville market just below.

When	Until 10 January 2027; Tuesday to Friday 2pm–6pm, weekends 10am–1pm and 2pm–6pm
Where	Suquet des Artistes, 7 rue Saint-Dizier, Le Suquet
