At the heart of the French Riviera and famous for the its glamorous film festival
In fact you can't help but associate Cannes with glamour, wealth and the film festival. It's a place where the rich and famous have been coming for over 150 years and the grandeur of the coastal promenade (La Croisette) and the front line buildings reflect its aristocratic history.
Nowadays, it's home to the internationally wealthy who provide a ready and willing clientele to the numerous designer boutiques, swanky bars and lavish hotels.
Behind the glitz however, there is a softer side to Cannes - the district of Le Suquet is the heart of the old town and is filled with little lanes, ancient buildings and the old harbour (home to traditional fishing boats and luxury yachts).
Cannes also has its share of markets featuring local produce and arts and crafts. Apart from the quintessential activity of people-watching, there are plenty of nautical adventures to be had, and there are 10 golf courses in the area. If all of that sounds too much like hard work, book yourself into one of the many spas for a day of luxury and pampering.
