Discover Cannes (France)


Cannes is a cosmopolitan seaside town on the French Riviera in the south of France. The glamour of its annual film festival cannot be underestimated, when the biggest stars of the silver screen grace the steps of the famous Palais des Festivals. For the rest of the year, Cannes proudly retains an air of exclusivity with its glittering casinos and upmarket nightlife has been a playground to wealthy holidaymakers since the 19th century. The palm-fringed seafront promenade, La Croisette is a haven of tantalising restaurants and people-watching opportunities, leading to the town's fashionable shopping area, rue d'Antibes. At the town's core lies the pristine historic quarter and a reminder of Cannes' former days as a simple fishing village, where an atmospheric network of cobblestone streets filled with cosy eateries and souvenir shops lead up to the castle and spectacular views.
