Yes in Cannes. The modern Anglican church Holy Trinity at 11 rue de la Buffa, every Sunday, attracts a congregation of about 150. Current chaplain Reverend Peter Anderson gives entertaining and challenging sermons. Sunday morning service at 10.30am - Morning Prayer and Holy Communion on alternate weeks - is followed by a glass of wine. A communal lunch then takes place at the church or at a local restaurant.
A Roman Catholic church sits on the top of Le Suquet in old Cannes which is very attractive sand has a wonderful view. See cannestouristinformation.co.uk
