City of Cannes with its famous croisette and marina on the Azure coast

Given its association with the rich and famous, the city of Cannes is renowned for its film festival, glorious beaches and high-end shopping. Made famous by the Cannes Film Festival, this picturesque paradise located on the French Riviera is bathed in sunshine for most of the year. A stroll along the palm-lined Boulevard de la Croisette, which curves along the coast, has sandy beaches one side, and upmarket boutiques and palatial hotels on the other.

There is plenty to explore and discover in the city centre.[ReadMoreMob] Many boutiques selling top fashion and jewellery brands sit next to an array of restaurants serving the finest cuisine. Even having a coffee in Cannes is a glamourous, out-of-the-ordinary experience. Cannes of the 19th century can still be seen in its grand villas, and there are plenty of museums to enjoy – notably the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Provence. Of course, for those visitors feeling lucky, the luxury casinos are popular night-time spots.
