The Croisette

The Boulevard de la Croisette is an emblem of Cannes, offering three km of a magnificent esplanade along the coast.

It is bordered, on one side, by public and private beaches, adorned with palm trees and pine trees, and on the other, by luxury boutiques and prestigious hotels, offering a view that seems straight out of a Post card.

This boulevard is ideal for relaxing, whether walking, running, rollerblading or cycling.

The Festival Palace

Ideally located in the heart of the city, you won't visit Cannes without seeing the Palais des Festivals!

Its main attraction remains the famous steps. Covered in their iconic red carpet every year in May for the Cannes Film Festival, these 24 steps capture everyone's attention.

If celebrities monopolize them for a few days during the Festival, they are available the rest of the year to become the perfect frame for your photos.

Le Suquet

Le Suquet, the historic heart of Cannes, is recognized as its oldest district and is classified as a historic monument.

Perched on a hill, this picturesque neighborhood offers spectacular views of Cannes, embracing the bay, the Lérins Islands, the Boulevard de la Croisette and the old port.

Through its narrow, cobbled streets full of color, you will feel transported back in time.

The beaches

The beaches of Cannes (beaches of La Croisette, Boulevard du Midi, La Bocca or Mouré Rouge) extend over more than 7 kilometers of shore lined with fine sand and offering a breathtaking view of the Estérel massif and the Lérins Islands.

This heavenly environment, between private and public beaches, offers a variety of activities and atmospheres for all those who love the sea, the beach and water activities.

The Forville Market

In the heart of Cannes, this market, a true institution of Cannes life, is renowned for the excellence of its local products.

It welcomes you among the locals for a morning stroll from Tuesday to Sunday.

Admire the freshly caught fish and bouquets of flowers, savor the seasonal fruits and vegetables, taste the socca or pissaladière. A real treat for the eyes and taste buds!

The Lérins Islands

Just 15 minutes by boat from the port of Cannes, Sainte-Marguerite Island and Saint-Honorat Island are two paradise islands.

Protected as a biological reserve, Ile Sainte Marguerite invites you to explore its 20 km of trails lined with pine and eucalyptus trees. The island is steeped in history, home to Fort Royal and its prison, famous for holding the “Man in the Iron Mask”.

Just as captivating, Saint-Honorat Island is a world apart, punctuated by the monastic life of the monks of Lérins Abbey. This small island offers a unique contrast, combining spirituality, history and nature, for an unforgettable experience far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
