Cannes

The city of Cannes is located on the French Riviera. It is the home of the annual Cannes Film Festival, Midem, and Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, and is located in the department of Alpes-Maritimes. The city is noted for its ties to the wealthy and famous, as well as its high-end hotels and restaurants, as well as various conferences. It held the 2011 G20 meeting on November 3, 2011.

This sun-drenched resort town on the French Riviera is all about unwinding in style: strolling along La Croisette, sunbathing on the beaches, sipping French wines on the patios of en plein air (open-air) cafes, shopping the side streets, and hitting the casinos and clubs – or your luxury hotel's pillows – at night. Most people spend a high price to visit Cannes because of its pleasant, sunny atmosphere and attractive location on France's southern coast.

The Cannes Film Festival, which takes place every May, has only grown in popularity. But don't let the exclusivity put you off visiting: Cannes is a genuinely worldwide destination that caters to a wide variety of tourists seeking everything from excellent dining and high-end shopping to brilliant films and beautiful beaches.
