A Little Bit About Cannes

Cannes, a resort town on the French Riviera well known for its international film festival. Its Boulevard de la Croisette, curves along the coast and is lined with sandy beaches, upmarket boutiques and palatial hotels. It’s also home to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, a modern building complete with red carpet and Allée des Stars – Cannes’ walk of fame. Being in the south of France it has great weather and enjoys a beach washed by the beautiful mediterranean.
Popular activities in Cannes include sailing, swimming, shopping and attending events at the Festival and Congress Centre.
It benefits from a main railway line that runs from Marseille to Nice, Monte Carlo and into Italy so a great location as a base to visit many other cosmopolitan places. It is conveniently situated near the Nice International Airport so easily accessible.
Cannes might be synonymous with A-list glamour but it is also a city rich in culture as well as one of the loveliest marinas in France. A true Riviera town, life in Cannes revolves around the harbour which still boasts fishing boats as well as the super-yachts of the super-rich.
Cannes is a great place to be star struck with many big names making an appearance each summer for the town’s iconic film festival. As a result, the night scene tends towards the glitzy, while the boutiques off the main marina are very expensive.
