Cannes France

Once a wee fishing village, Cannes is now a glitzy and costly seaside town considered to be one of the social hotspots of Europe. Its time to shine comes in May as the venue for the Cannes Film Festival, entertaining the wealthy and well-known. During the festival, fans can see actors, celebrities, and directors up close and personal on the famous steps of the Palais des Festivals at the end of La Croisette. Although its nightlife, casinos and high end restaurants give Cannes a feel of exclusivity, Cannes does have alternatives to suit all sorts of budgets. Tourists can check out the beauty and architecture of Le Suquet, with its cobbled streets and stunning views, or sit at street side tables and enjoy the favoured pastime of people watching up and down the lovely marina.
