Cannes

Cannes is the "star attraction" of the French Riviera. It is  famous for the International Film Festival and for its glitzy hotels, sports cars, stunning beaches and star studded visitors that visit here.

The film festival in May sees the arrival of famous film producers and actors. However,  tourists year-round and crowds of tourists arrive for summer. It attracts both exotic people and real people, and of course plenty of poodles (it is France, after all!). Super yachts and small  yachts, cruise ships and fishing boats all float in the surrounding crystal clear blue waters

This is the place that you will see more of the latest model Maserati's Lamborghini's and Ferrari's than anywhere else on the planet!

The city of Cannes is centered around the old port, with the central part quite compact. The famous "Croisette" is the boulevard and the beach that extends around the bay to the east of the port, in the protected "Rade de Cannes".
 The  "old town" is "Le Suquet" overlooking the west end of the port. The 12th-century Tour de Mt. Chevalier, ramparts and 12th-16th-century church Notre-Dame-de-l'Espérence give a touch of medieval flavour to the city. The main daily market is at Forville, two blocks north (inland) from the Hotel de Ville on Rue Félix Faure. This is a big, active covered market, that takes up a full, long block (photo). A flower market is at the west end of the covered area. On Mondays, Forville becomes a Marché Brocante (flea market).

Cannes is also famous for it amazing white sanded beaches - with miles and miles of them along the Golfe de la Napoule or along "La Croisette" in the Rade de Cannes.

Of course you don't have to be rich and famous to come to Cannes. But it sure is fun 'rubbing' shoulders with them!
