A little reflexion...

The more I walk around Cannes, the more I notice the high number of old people. They are everywhere: in the streets, at the restaurants, in the shops & boutiques, even laying topless at the beach! (Don't ask...)

I would go with the hypothesis that the younger people are at school/work and have more important things to do with their time, but I've already heard many times that Cannes is a city for the elders.

For example, the bus schedule starts slowing down at 8pm. The difficulty of traveling by bus after 8:30pm is related to the slow beat of the city at night. And the taxis, they are even harder to find! It isn't like Dallas where you can find a cab any time at night. Here it seems like everyone goes to sleep because taxi drivers are nowhere to be found and contacting them is a hassle.

So, Cannes is a city for the rich, retired population of France and the rest of the word.
