Tour du Suquet has 1 rating.
The Tour du Suquet, located in the heart of Cannes' old town, offers visitors a glimpse into the city's history. This medieval tower, part of the Musée de la Castre complex, provides panoramic views of Cannes and the surrounding area. The climb to the top can be challenging, with narrow stairs, but many visitors find the effort worthwhile for the vista it offers. The museum itself houses a collection of primitive art, Mediterranean antiquities, and 19th-century Provençal landscape paintings. While some visitors appreciate the diverse exhibits, others find the collection somewhat limited. The historic atmosphere of the surrounding Le Suquet neighborhood adds to the overall experience, with its charming streets and traditional architecture. However, some visitors note that the information provided about the exhibits could be more comprehensive, and the facilities might benefit from updates. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Tour du Suquet remains a popular attraction for those interested in Cannes' history and seeking a spectacular view of the city.
