Vilfeu

the Cannes institution

It’s impossible to miss Vilfeu, this Cannoise institution with its bluish front and “American diner” look. 45 years of existence, 3 generations, and a unique know-how, have allowed this master ice-cream maker to become one of the best in France. The creator of the cottage cheese sorbet that earned him his reputation, this artisan of taste has never stopped innovating with more than 80 flavours to be discovered and constantly renewed. Vanilla/safran, yuzo/pomegranate or oat milk/buckwheat and even hay, ribot milk and praline, are all surprising mixtures, anchored in their time, that you can taste just a few steps from the Croisette.

Los Pistoleros

a Cannois success

A real success story for “Los Pistoleros” ice creams, created by 3 young Cannois. For the past 3 years, there has been a real national craze for their innovative concept imported from Mexico. Paletas, these fresh fruit-based ice cream sticks, which have been consumed since the 1930s in this colourful country, have won over ice cream aficionados thanks to their natural composition, with no flavouring, no preservatives and no colouring. These concentrated fruity flavours are now available in organic versions or with added delicacies such as biscuits, and can be eaten all over Cannes, from the beaches to the city centre.

Artisan of taste

The authentic taste of our ice creams comes from our love of the products we use and our respect for raw materials throughout the production process.

The ice creams are made using high-quality local produce from the Cannois hinterland (fruit, vegetables, herbs, milk).

My boule

The ice cream hot spot in Cannes

Just a stone’s throw from the Croisette, with the Mediterranean as a backdrop, My Boule opened its doors a few months ago in the vibrant centre of town. At 32 rue du Commandant André, this new spot, halfway between a traditional ice cream parlour and a modern coffee shop, is shaping up to be a must-see this summer.

My Boule catches the eye at first sight, with its sunny colours evoking the South and Italy. The ultra-modern decor, designed by the Liautard & the Queen agency and tinted yellow and white, features a counter behind which lies the magic of the place: the ice creams. Artisanal, concocted from products meticulously sourced in France and Italy, they are designed around intense flavours and gourmet delights. Here, the ice cream scoops are adorned with homemade toppings and coulis in the signature version. You can also enjoy them in a jar or in a cone for the more purist eaters. The perfect ice cream address for summer delights!
