Founded in 1885 and described by local newspaper 'Nice Matin' as the "oldest gay bar in Europe", the "Zanzibar" closed its doors for good on December 9 2010. The bar was one of the fixtures of the "apres-festival" bar circuit for many Cannes Film Festival visitors, famous for past visitors such as Jean Cocteau, Jean Marais and Jean-Claude Brialy.
Joining the "Petit Carlton" in the Cannes Festival Bar dead pool, the Zanzibar will be replaced by ... an ice cream parlor.
