One can only guess what might have happened to this poor house on the Avenue de Lérins at the southeastern corner of Cannes, a stone’s throw from the Palm Beach casino. Actually, it looks like it was hit by a bomb, though I’m reasonably sure that that’s not the case. Interestingly enough, on Google Earth (43° 32.254'N, 7° 2.281'E) the house is intact, but in Street View it looks as shown here. Whatever turned this place into a heap of rubble not even suitable for This Old House, one thing is certain: this ruin won’t stay like this for long because this is prime real estate. Indeed, from the top of the small hill to the right of what used to be a house, one has an unobstructed sea view, and it surely won’t be long until someone seizes this commercial opportunity.
