Cannes

There are many things to do in Cannes, first and foremost is to stroll down the Croisette, the world famous street, which runs along the shoreline of Cannes, which is full of upscale shopping opportunities.

For a relaxing day out visit Iles de Lerin, which consists of two islands, Ste-Marguerite and St-Honorat, just a 15 minute boat ride away. The islands have many walking paths, are covered by eucalyptus and pine forests and are home to Fort Royal.

There is also the Palais de festival, home to many festivals and shows including the infamous Cannes Film Festival, held annually in May. Other Festivals include:
