French Riviera city of 75,000 — the May Film Festival is the global brand, but year-round Cannes is a calmer, more residential alternative to Nice (40 minutes by train) and a fraction of Monaco's prices. La Croisette runs the beach, Le Suquet is the medieval hill quarter, and the Lérins islands are 15 minutes by ferry. France's long-stay Profession Libérale visa serves nomad purposes — ~€2,500-3,200/mo income, 1-year renewable. The trade vs. Nice is fewer flights (Nice airport serves Cannes too), a quieter low season, and the absurd in-season pricing during May–September.
