Wish i could afford a hotel on the seafront ;-)
In a nutshell

It's all about the Jet-Set Crowd!
25 Reviews Yes there are public free beaches in Cannes even at the Croisette and they are as clean as the private beaches. As what concerns the crowd it all depends from the season and also of the time of the day. The ones I saw were nice and not so crowded at the end of September even on a sunny Sunday...
25 Reviews One of the nicest places to visit in Cannes where you can see the locals in shops, stores, and sitting at outdoor cafes is in the old town on the hill, Le Suquet. Taking the winding streets up the hill requires a little effort but is an ideal way to exercise the wonderful tastes of Cannes that you...
24 Reviews One of the most well-known promenade in the world is Cannes La Croisette, stretched from the Palace of Festivals up to the Palm Beach casino. From port Kanto with numerous yachts through the bridge and parkway of a name of Alexander III you can get in Russian quarter, where Russian aristocracy lived...
Palais des Festivals - Film Festival
31 Reviews 63rd Film Festival 12-23th May 2010 Fewer big Hollywood stars expected this year With only two "large" U.S. production in theatres ("Robin Hood" from Ridley Scott's opening and "Wall Street 2" out of competition), those climbing the stairs may be a little less glamorous than previous years....
29 Reviews Facing the Vieux Port and the large esplanade called "La Pantiéro" stands the Hôtel de Ville of Cannes. This neoclassic building from 1876 is particularly representative of 19th-century architecture. Each of its three levels has its own sculpted decoration. Bas-reliefs of coats-of-arms, attic level...
Notre Dame de l'Espérance & Other Churches
11 Reviews At the top of the Suquet hill the Church of Notre-Dame de l'Espérance (16-17th c.) looks more like a fortress as a church in late gothic style. The bell tower (16th c.) was part of the ancient hedging wall. The vaulted opening in the tower joins the square at the entrance of the church with the...
Château de la Castre - Castle museum

9 Reviews Cannes is situated exactly at the mid-point of the Côte d'Azur: it takes as long to reach Saint-Tropez as it does San Remo in Italy (roughly 1.5 hours each). Cannes also benefits from its proximity to the A7 motorway (Autoroute du Soleil). It is, therefore, the perfect anchor point from which to...
18 Reviews This is another emblematic hotel on the Croisette nearly in front of the Palais des Festivals. The hotel has 265 rooms and 84 suites. It belongs to the Lucien Barrière group. Spectacular façade at night.

3 Reviews Cocquillages BRUN also called Astoux et Brun is in Cannes the best known restaurant for seafood. It is located at the corner of the rue Félix Faure and rue Louis Blanc nearly in front of the Hôtel de Ville. We have been there twice in the evening. It is best to be there at 19 h because at 20 h...
5 Reviews Serving pizza and other Italian dishes in Cannes for decades, La Pizza (Cresci) is an institution. It is a direct competitor of Vesuvio's at the other end of la Croisette. La Pizza is located at the corner of le Vieux Port, at the foothill of the Suquet hill.
11 Reviews Like many train stations in France, this place looks dirty (I'm sure it is)...but you will only have to be here, if you have a train to catch (DUH!). It's the fastest way to get to Nice and other cities. If you're taking a local train, there is no need to buy in advance. Instead of queueing and...
5 Reviews When you look at the official website of the Nice Airport for the taxis you will find a price indication of 67 - 72 € for a trip Nice airport to Cannes. This is a minimum theoretical price because there are following possible "SUPPLEMENTS" Day rate (7am to 7pm) : €1.72/km . - Night rate (7pm to...
14 Reviews We hadn't planned our trip to Nice according to the schedule of the world famous Cannes Fílm Festival, we didn't even know what time of the year it is held! Again, like with Formula 1, we seemed to be lucky. When making the day-trip to Cannes we noticed the crowd and the rush on the car routes and...
5 Reviews The "Iles de Lerins" are two islands just off the coast of Cannes and a regular boat connection goes to both Ile Sainte-Marguarite as Ile Saint-Honorat. Both island are very worth while to go to in historical, cultural as well as spiritual sense (see my "Ile Saint-Honorat" page).
20 Reviews The sound of water is said to be soothing and in Cannes the sound coming from the many fountains from a street planted fountain to hanging on a wall fountain, your admiring of and listening to the music each plays with the falling water, is one way to enjoy the sights of Cannes without spending a...
18 Reviews The Cannes Film Festival / Festival de Cannes) is the world's most prestigious film festival. The 59th Festival will take place between May 17-28, 2006. The Award Ceremony will be held on Sunday May 28th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wanna see...
