Résidence Fleurie One Bedroom Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The moment I walked into this ground-floor apartment at Résidence Fleurie, I actually felt like I was staying in someone’s well-loved home rather than just another rental unit. It’s tucked away on Rue Lacour – and honestly, most tourists walking around Pointe Croisette probably miss this quiet little street entirely, which is exactly why I ended up loving it.

The one-bedroom setup is surprisingly thoughtful. I mean, you’ve got your own little slice of garden-level living (the French call it rez-de-jardin, which sounds so much fancier than “ground floor”), and there’s something really satisfying about being able to step outside without dealing with elevators or climbing stairs after a long day exploring Cannes. The kitchen actually has everything you need – not just the bare minimum like some places – and I found myself making morning coffee there instead of wandering around looking for an overpriced café. The bedroom gets decent natural light, though if you’re sensitive to street sounds, you might hear the occasional early morning delivery truck. Nothing too dramatic, just… well, you’re in the middle of a city, you know?

What really sold me on this spot was the location itself. Pointe Croisette puts you close enough to all the action – the famous Croisette boulevard is literally a few minutes’ walk – but you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of tourists and traffic right outside your window. I could walk to the Palais des Festivals pretty easily, and there’s this little boulangerie about two blocks away that locals actually use (always a good sign). The beach access is straightforward too, though honestly, in high season you’ll want to get there early if you want any decent spot on the sand. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this area – the residence has some spots but I’d definitely confirm that ahead of time if you’re driving. The whole neighborhood has that lived-in feel where you see the same dog walkers every morning and shopkeepers who actually remember faces, which is refreshing when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a quick weekend.

Is it luxury? Not exactly – this is solidly three-star territory, but it’s three stars done right. The place feels clean and cared for, not just maintained. I appreciated little touches like having enough towels and decent water pressure (you’d be surprised how often that’s an issue). If you’re looking for a concierge and room service, this isn’t your spot. But if you want to feel like you’re actually living in Cannes for a few days rather than just visiting, the Résidence Fleurie delivers on that promise. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning to come back, maybe for a longer stay next time.

The concierge service in Cannes can arrange exclusive access to film screenings, secure reservations at celebrity-frequented restaurants, and organize personalized visits to the Palais des Festivals and nearby islands.
