- Palais des Festivals Red Carpet: Festival-specific opportunity; outside events year-round accessible
- Harbor with Yachts: Early morning light on anchored luxury vessels and colorful fishing boats
Street & Detail Shots:
- Old Town Alleys: Narrow passages with colorful buildings; diffused morning/afternoon light best

Photography Tips: Polarizing filter enhances blue Mediterranean sky. Early morning and late afternoon avoid harsh midday shadows. Bring tripod for stable shots on boat tours.
