La Croisette

I've been walking around downtown Cannes and I've noticed something interesting: there are not a lot of beggars out in the street during the day, but it is impossible to miss them at night.

I walked up and down La Croisette on Tuesday night and there were beggars everywhere! Most of them were seating in the ground, others were just walking around asking for money - even in English! (well, they said "please"). I saw the same thing on Friday night.

But, I walked again along La Croisette on Saturday at 2 pm and saw only one beggar! I could not believe it.
