 Cannes in the Limelight

Two weeks a year, Cannes is in the world's spotlights. For more than fifty years, the International Film Festival, 2nd most important mediatic event on earth, has been promoting the city that hosts it.

Everybody knows at least the Croisette boulevard, its stiff-standing palm trees, its prestigious hotels and its exclusive shops, the "Suquet" section, that is to say the old town of Cannes, overlooking the rest  of the city from the only eye of its clock-tower.

From the Croisette to the Suquet, there's a lot to see. A good hour walking tour will take you from the fine sandy beaches to the convention center surrounded with hundreds of movie stars' handprints and then , from the Provençal "pétanque" playground to the panoramic  "Castre" square, from where you can watch the whole Bay of Cannes and the twin islands of Lérins : St Honorat and its Cistercian monks' community, St Marguerite and the prison of "the Man in the Iron Mask".

The "Forville" indoor market, its nice smells, irresistible at lunch time, and its daily crowd will put a nice end to this walking tour. From then on, some free time can be given to wander an the nearby pedestrian zone.

Of course, this half-day tour (maximum duration is 4 hours comprised between 8.00 am and 12.00 pm) can start from Cannes, but also from Nice that is a mere half -an-hour drive from Cannes by the Motorway.

As a full-day tour (maximum duration is 9 hours comprised between 8.00 am and 7.00 pm), Cannes can be perfectly combined with Grasse and St Paul, Antibes or Nice (see descriptions in the corresponding pages ).
