Carlton Hotel

by Lilasel

The Carlton hotel is somehow a symbol of Cannes. It's located in the heart of Cannes, on one of France most beautiful avenues, the famous La Croisette and only 800 metres away from the Palais des Festivals.

Of course ... walk the stairs of the stars

by Pavlik_NL

When in Cannes you must do what all others do. I know, it's actually quite stupid, but when a French couple offers you to make a picture after we did the same for them, take your partner by the arm and descend from the stairs that the stars use. The "Palais des festival et des congress" is a quite ugly building at the start of the "Boulevard de la Croisette". Here the anual filmfestival takes place and gathers all the stars from the white screen for a week in Cannes.

Take another spin at the wheel in the Casino

The other Casino that has a special place in the Cannes gambling world is the Palm Beach casino at the other end of the Boulevard de la Croisette, as seen from the Casino near the Palais of Festival and Congresses.

CANNES

"If anybody CAN, I CAN"

It just happened to be near where I was posted to work in the South of France, why I went to Cannes. I found the place very intimidating for someone who was not so trendy and sexy, most of all intimidating for someone who did'nt have a lot of money. All my friend and I did was to sit in one of those cafes with sitting areas outside, with an oversized umbrellas (parasols) ordered an extra large cone of multi scoop haagen daz ice cream and be sick to look at all those slim and perfectly tanned bodies skating and walking pass, while we lick the melting cream. Boy! I was glad to see some ladies, old and wrinkly, wearing shorts, outlines of the bluish varicous clearly visible, but looking at all those carats that were decorating them, they were allowed to be there.
