best place to rent a lounge chair in Cannes

Where can I rent a lounge chair in Cannes close to a good restaurant for lunch?

Plage Z of the Hotel Martinez looks like being this seasons most stylish private beach, with bar/ restaurant on the beach.

Each of the four %26quot;grande dames%26quot; - the big hotels - has its own associated beach with restauant, and there are loads of others all along the Croisette.

This is out of my league but they are all very pricy, and you will pay through the nose for drinks, and the food is not anything special.

You could do worse than stroll down and choose any you like the look of?

Cheers

%26quot;Nicelife%26quot; Where would you recommend renting a lounge chair and a wonderful reasonable priced lunch and a few drinks? Thanks for you input about Hotel Martinez. We are staying in Mougins and know nothing about Cannes or Mougins.

After several years of looking for value and quality in Cannes, quizzing regular visitors and locals, I have concluded: there isn%26#39;t any.

Its too expensive, there is no return on quality, no one else offers it, it doesn%26#39;t fit with the Cannois lifestyle, so I gave up.

La Pizza run by the wizard of pizza from Nice, Mr Cresci, an the harbour opposite the old town is the only place I can actually recommend.

I have written up more detail of what to see and do in Cannes if that is of more help, here

Mougin has really top restaurants Michelin starred, but I have not been yet myself

Argee ~ you could have a great lunch at Le Voilier, it%26#39;s smack in the middle/on the Croisette blvd, with good service a lovely view; it is reasonable and very good value. Their omelettes %26amp; salads are fabulous, as is the fish. We%26#39;ve been going for years and have never been disappointed. That is true also of Vesuvio, a little more casual (they also have wonderful pizzas) just one block up. Both of these are just a few blocks down from the Martinez and the Carlton (which, if dining on the %26quot;beach itself%26quot; is my personal preference).

I just thought I%26#39;d mention that you can buy a folding beach chair, (I%26#39;ve gotten several of the nice %26quot;low%26quot; ones) at most Tabacs for about €15, if all you would like is a an hour or two on the beach. Just walk down to # 82 Croisette and you%26#39;ll see a very nice free public one. We stay in that area and go every day.

If you really want your %26quot;lounge %26amp; umbrella %26amp; towel and lunch %26quot;with drinks%26quot; at one of the hotels, I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll enjoy it. But it will cost you a pretty penny.

Can%26#39;t you simply take your beach towel a picnic and plant yourself on a free public beach?
