The town of Cannes is one of the most well known along the French Riviera. It is an attractive destination year round, being an interesting holiday spot during the summer and busy for other months of the year thanks to the many congresses that are hosted there.
Cannes offers a sand beach, which is unlike other areas of the coast, mainly around Nice, Cap Ferrat, Eze.
The Film Festival is of course a very busy time of the year, bringing Hollywood to the South of France !
And that’s what makes Cannes so special. It’s not only the buzz of Cannes Film Festival or the special atmosphere around the Monaco Grand Prix. It simply has it all. And by all I mean the stunning coastal views, enjoyed from some of the world’s most luxurious villas.
