Hey friends. Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here I'm Tiff.
I'm an American living in Paris and we are now day three of my solo trip to the
south of France. And I just got to Cannes! Um,
I'm so excited to be here.
I'm actually rushing out the door because I really want to try and make it to
this restaurant. And the kitchen closes at 4:30.
It's like four or five right now. So I'm about to head out. Um, but yes,
I made it and I am so excited to be here. Actually just changed super quickly.
Um, so this is the look, so I got this super cute kimono from bash. Um,
and then some like dad sandals on, but yeah, I can't chat too much because, uh,
I gotta run. I got to get out the door to try and make it to this restaurant.
Oh my gosh. I literally like ran there and they were closed.
They literally just closed for lunch, unfortunately,
and tomorrow they're having some like big private party.
So my friend had suggested that place. I really wanted to try it.
It's called Le Mome Plage. Um, but maybe next time.
So now I'm just sitting here right by Cinema de la Plage.
So apparently every night of the Cannes film festival around
9:30, they actually show a film. So I might head back here tonight. Um,
so let's see, but I'm,
I think I'm just going to look for a smoothie place and grab a smoothie. Um,
or I don't know, maybe look for somewhere else to have lunch,
but right now I'm just chilling.
Friends right now, I'm on La Croisette, which is like the promenade.
So a lot of like really cute beach restaurants here.
I'll probably go to one of these for dinner. Um,
but I'm on my way to Palais des festivals, which is, I guess,
where the red carpet is. Let's see if I catch a glimpse of any celebs cause um,
the Cannes film festival is happening right now. So let's see.
But I'm on my way there now. I just wanted to check it out and yeah,
stay tuned.
All right. There are so many people around here gathered around.
I think they're waiting for celebrities to walk down the red carpet. So guys,
I think I'm going to try and wait and see if I see anyone. Let's see. Let's see.
I mean, if it's, if it's going to be like an hour until people come out,
then no, if people start coming down the red carpet in the next,
like 10 to 15 minutes. All right. I could do that. Let's see.
Okay. I just put my mask on. Cause there are a lot of people here,
but no one yet.
I'm going to wait for like 10 more minutes and then we outta here,
I can't be waiting forever for these celebs.
Alright. They just started playing music. So hopefully that means
people
are coming soon.
All right. Sorry, friends.
I didn't really see anyone on the red carpet and it was getting super crowded
there. So I decided to leave cause I was standing there for a good minute. Um,
but now I think I'm just going to go back to my room and figure out the dinner
plans. Uh, cause it's about that time. It's like 6, 6 30.
Um, and I kind of want to take a little nap first because going from needs to
can was a lot with that suitcase.
So I just want to relax for a second and then I'll come back out.
Oh my God. yummm,
whenever I'm outside of Paris and in France I can find Nutella ice cream,
but I haven't been able to find it in Paris yet.
So I just got two scoops of Nutella.
I just got to Cinema de la Plage to watch the free film on the beach.
Just thought that this would be really nice to do today. Um,
there are a lot of people out,
so you can either sit on the beach and watch the film or you can wait in that
super long line to get an actual seat on the beach. I was like,
I cannot do a line right now.
Looks like people have been waiting for like at least an hour. So I was like,
you know what, I'm just going to pop a squat on the beach,
but it's completely free. Um,
whether you stand in the line and get a seat over there or sit here on the
beach, but let me show you guys. And then that's the line over there.
People have been waiting in.
So yeah, thought that this would be so nice to do tonight.
And I just got a burger and some fries to eat while I watched the movie.
That's another thing. I'm not sure if you can bring food,
if you actually stand in the line and get one of the seats up there. Um,
and I really wanted to eat, like have like dinner and a movie.
But yay first day in Cannes so far so good. Um,
and I'm excited to watch this movie.
So it is now day two and my very last day of the trip. Um,
I just came to the beach to Plage Goeland,
which is kind of like a beach restaurant situation. Um,
because I had so much fun on the beach in Nice so figured I'd come check out the
beach. And the good thing about Cannes this strip that I'm on,
which is called La Croisette is that you can either go to the public beach,
which is on cinema de la plage, where I watched the film yesterday,
or you can come to the restaurants, which all have their private beach.
So this one seemed like a great option. And I decided to come, um,
like first thing in the morning, it's like 10 in the morning right now. Um,
because I think it's going to rain around one. So I was like, okay, like,
let me try and enjoy this as much as I can before it rains.
So yeah just chilling out today.
I have to say,
I have really been enjoying myself and I was kind of on the fence about taking a
solo trip. Honestly, I've been having a great time and I would highly,
highly encourage you guys to take a solo trip at least once in your life.
You know, it's just really nice. And yes, there are moments where I'm like, oh,
I wish my friends were here or, oh, this would be fun to do with another person.
I mean, I definitely had those moments,
but overall I honestly have had such a great time spending some time with
myself.
It's not too bad, kind of cold, but it's always too cold for me at first.
I'm definitely going to go in.
But oh my gosh guys, how beautiful is this? I do prefer the beaches in Cannes,
better just because they actually have real sand.
I'm definitely go in.
So guys relaxing by the beach was so much fun. Oh my gosh,
I love a good beach moment, but then it started down pouring.
So then I just had some lunch at the restaurant and the food was pretty good.
And then I came back here, took a much needed nap, like, oh my gosh,
I was exhausted. I still kind of am exhausted.
I think just from running around a lot during this trip, but I just got dressed.
Um, because I do want to go back to the beach to watch a movie. Oh my gosh guys,
last day of my solo trip. Um, in the south of France, it's been amazing.
I'll definitely have to do like a full recap for you guys. Um,
traveling alone has definitely been an experience. Um,
it's been really fun just to spend some quality time with myself. Um,
but also again, as I think I said before, at moments where I'm like, dang,
it would have been nice to have a friend here, but um, all in all,
it's been really fun and I've been really enjoying my time here in the south of
France. But anyways, let's get going because it is oh 8:17.
Um, the movie starts at 9:30,
but I want to make sure I get a good place on the beach. Um,
and also have time to get my food. So let's go, let's go.
I got here in time to get a spot by the screen. This is so cool!
I actually made it to get a spot, um, right by the screen. When I came,
there were a bunch of seats open, so I figured I'd just come sit here.
And today they're showing the fabuleux destin d'amélie poulain.
I've actually seen this before. It's a French film. Um, it's set in Paris,
but guys, it is so nice here.
Well friends it's the next day. And I am now off to the airport,
I'm at the train station right now about to catch the train
back to Nice and then taking an Uber from there.
This is the very end of my solo trip to the south of France.
Thank you guys so much for watching the vlog,
I hope that you enjoyed it and I'll see you soon.
