Fete du Chocolat au Vieux Cannet (Choc fest in old village)

This is the second Chocolat fest that we happened to go to. Can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? We sure can't. Anyway here are some photos of the Choc fest held at the old village, Le Cannet, just north up the hill from Cannes.

This painting is a metaphor of love symbolized by newlyweds taking off above the Garden of Eden inspired by the city of Cannet.Raymond PEYNET, honorary citizen The City of Cannet, painted this work in honor of the newlyweds that he wanted to offer a poetic stage in their wedding trips.

Art on residential building

Another neat building

Le Castillet

St. Catherine of Alexandria church


Walking back to our car, we notice this aquaduc. There is no way to access this as the area here is residential and all fenced. We found one that was not and we climbed down and walked along the canal.
