The French Riviera is many things, but cheap is certainly not one of them. To give you a bit of perspective, a very average coffee, at best, is going to cost you 5€.

Getting a wholesome, nourishing and affordable meal in Cannes is difficult, but we've accepted the challenge and found 20 Cheap Eats in Cannes, where you can get a meal for 20€ or less.
