Welcome to Bitcoin Tuesday!
Every Tuesday I feature a restaurant, café or shop that accepts cryptocurrency payments.
The goal: show that crypto is not just for holding — it’s for paying, enjoying life, and supporting local businesses.
For Hive users: using V4V, you can swap HIVE or HBD into Lightning-BTC (or via other methods) and use it for real-world payments.

💡 Why This Place Rocks
- Located in a prestigious area (Cannes, Boulevard Alexandre-III) — so crypto payment here adds real lifestyle relevance.
- Accepting multiple cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDC) signals forward-thinking.
- For travellers and locals alike, it shows that perhaps spending crypto isn’t just for niche shops — even high-end restaurants are joining in.
🌍 Crypto-Friendliness of Cannes & France
Here’s a snapshot of the broader context for crypto payments in this region:
- The article reports that La Piastra is the first restaurant in Cannes to accept crypto payments.
- Businesses in Cannes are being encouraged by city officials to adopt crypto payments — which helps legitimize the approach.
- France still has regulatory and tax considerations around crypto as payment, but the demand among international visitors (tourists) is a driver for adoption of merchant-crypto solutions.
- More broadly in Europe, crypto payments at cafés and restaurants are growing.
