The world-famous resort of Cannes is one of the most visited towns along the French Riviera, and it’s perfectly easy to see why.
The cosmopolitan town, which comes to a halt for a fortnight every May when the Cannes Film Festival is held in its majestic Palais des Festivals, oozes sophistication and charm in the way that only a French station balnéaire can.
Just 15 minutes by helicopter from Nice to Cannes, it boasts some of the country’s finest hotels, boutiques and restaurants, as well as some first-class private beaches which sit just below the famous La Croisette, the wide avenue which runs along the seafront.
