Square Jean Hibert is a public square in Cannes, beside the old port and below historic Le Suquet. Its open space connects waterfront routes with the narrow, stone-paved streets of the old town. A fountain stands among shaded areas, adding water and greenery to this Mediterranean urban setting. Residential buildings, hotels, and restaurants surround the square, bringing everyday activity close to the shoreline.

The fountain was a gift from the Society of London Water Troughs, linking Cannes with London. Nearby Quai Saint Pierre holds fishing boats and yachts, while Boulevard du Midi follows the coast. Plage du Midi and Riviera Beach offer loungers, restaurants, and water sports along that seafront. Boulevard Jean Hibert connects western Cannes with the city centre and passes several private beaches. From here, you can walk towards the Palais des Festivals and the Croisette’s luxury hotels and boutiques. Le Suquet rises nearby with medieval architecture, winding lanes, and views across Cannes Bay. Locals meet, pause, or pass through here on their way to the port, beaches, or old town.
