Go topless

by barryg23

One of my favourite things about Cannes (and France) is its liberal attitudes such as the tolerance of semi-nudity on the beaches. In Ireland and the UK this is not allowed, so it's still something of a novelty to me.

What you imagine French dining to be.

by emilesc about La Scala

Very fancy - waiters in starched uniforms, exactly what you imagine a French restaurant to look like. Had a very friendly waiter who looks like a member of a boyband. Don't know his name, but he sort of stands out among the others. Restaurant is closed during the film festival to those not staying at the Noga Hilton, but if you get there just before or after, you're good. Had the duck, which was delicious. Dessert was impeccable - one of those carefully arranged artistic masterpieces. And it was yummy to boot. :-)

Stroll The Croisette

by happyboy48

It"s called the Croisette because a cross stood on the shore by the harbor.Its a wonderful place to walk .You have the beach on one side of you and the big hotels boutiques and restaurants on the other. Its a great place to people watch.

"RÉGATES ROYALES" AT THE YACHT CLUB OF CANNES.

by breughel

""RÉGATES ROYALES""

One can go to Cannes to see pretty movie stars and starlets or to see a beautiful coast under a mild climate. I went there to see the classic and tradition sailing yachts participating to the "Royal Régates" of Cannes at the end of September.

On peut visiter Cannes pour la beauté de son paysage et la douceur de son climat ou pour le côté "bling bling" de son festival du cinéma et tout ce qui tourne autour.
J'eus la chance en cette fin de septembre d'assister aux Régates Royales groupant des voiliers classiques et de tradition, environ 150 en tout. C'était un spectacle bien supérieur aux stars montant un escalier.

"LES VOILIERS ANCIENS - TRADITION YACHTS."

Wonderful sailing boats often build in the first half of the 20th c and all moored in the Vieux Port of Cannes. They were about 150 of different classes.

Quelle merveille ces voiliers, quelle finesse de formes, quel amour et perfection dans l'accastillage et l'entretien de ces voiliers souvent construits au début du 20e siècle.

"THE MOTOR YACHTS OF THE BILLIONAIRES."

The contrast with the big motor yachts at the quay next to the Palais des Festivals is striking: the elegance, the slenderness of the classic sailing boats and the clumsy lines of the floating "m'as tu vu" palaces of the billionaires.

Quel contraste avec les lourds yachts "m'as-tu vu" des milliardaires amarrés près du Palais des Festivals.
A Cannes il y en a pour tous les goûts, du meilleur au pire!

Cannes Film Festival

by unexplored

If you want to make movies you go to Hollywood, but if you want to see them you go to Cannes.
Each day during the festival, five or six new films are unveiled to the public with all the assorted paraphernalia of parties, press conferences and interviews.
The festival was created in 1940 to counter Mussolini's fascist propaganda film festival in Venice. It was not until after WWII, however, that the first festival starred at Cannes.
The festival is focused on the industry but will accredit any individual who can show he or she harbours a genuine love of cinema. You must write to the Festival Office pleading your case and if you are lucky you will obtain a badge that will get you in to most of the festival cinemas. Otherwise, unless your rich, beautiful and worth a tabloid splash, you have absolutely no chance of scoring an invitation.
