FANTASTIC BURGERS & ICE CREAM ! CANNES vlog 6| twoplustwocrew family vloggers

More summer holiday fun in Cannes. Kids had the choice of where to have lunch one day .... surprisingly (not) they choose burgers and ice cream! So we had our first steak n shake. It's an American burger chain in France. The intricacies of French cuisine did't seem to interest the little sprouts.  To be fair the Burgers were actually really good and the oreo milkshake was pretty much a meal in itself, everyone struggled to suck it up through the straws . There was a big glass window so you can get your taste buds going as you watch your burger being prepped and at the same time get in the way of the waiting staff! Seats were mostly taken so we wondered across the street to the fountain and people watched as we had our lunch. As we all know there is always room for ice cream so we headed over to an ice cream & sorbet shop we had spotted on the walk down. This place is amazing (Amorino) you pick the ice cream or sorbets you want and they turn it in to a piece of floral ice cream art! Wasn't cheap but actually tasted of what it was supposed to, lemon and mango were magic on a hot day.  Watch our vlog below and if your in Cannes with the kids the steak n shake Amorino combo highly recommended to keep the juniors happy. Still more of our French holiday vlogs coming so subscribe and get them as we upload them.

FIREWORKS FESTIVAL DAY CANNES | twoplustwocrew

Next of our French summer holiday vlogs.... Was 34 degrees in Cannes so we grabbed the swimming gear and headed to the beach. Pretty busy, but water was lovely, refreshing but not cold! Walked back along the main beachfront road past the hotels and casinos, great for supercar spotting, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani all just parked up on the street! Some had very questionable paint jobs.. chrome blue lambo, gold and blue rolls anyone? awesome to see and touch better than a car show. While we were swimming we noticed crew setting up the barges for the evenings fireworks show so we popped back later that evening. It was packed and humming along the front people everywhere, Tabitha got grabbed to do some street dancing by a (very good) busker...she wasn't keen but hats off she did it! Managed to find a spot on the beach. 3 of us ended up standing on a concrete beach shower area to get a better view, fine until some nut decided to wash his hair! Fireworks were amazing, it is a competition held every year LE FESTIVAL D'ART PYROTECHNIQUE CANNES different countries compete and the public votes. It was pyro-tech the english entry, amazing 20-30 mins of fireworks set to music playing off the barges in the bay. Beautiful backdrop of twinkling lights provided curtesy of the super yachts anchored up in the bay.... bling bling!

SWIMMING IN CANNES SOUTH OF FRANCE | twoplustwocrew

Summer holiday Cannes south of France. after a long haul overnight drive down from Cherbourg we found the apartment at 4am. Laid back morning for us all as we needed a a bit of down time. This is the Lux part of the trip after this it's camping in our bargain £12.00 asda tents! Andrew went hunting and gathering, became a little obsessed about rotisserie chicken and rose... at 10am. Later on we took a drive to find a nice spot to swim (the main beaches were packed!) Found a lovely calanque about 30 mins south of Cannes, the coast road D6098 that runs along the cliffs is worth the drive, great scenery looking out over the French riviera . We found a car park on the side of the road clambered down a track and found a beautiful spot on the rocks. Little bit of Middle eastern dance music provided courtesy of the super yacht moored just of the beach.



Great summer holiday in France lots more blogs and blogs to come!
