Overview
Cannes, once a small fishing village on the French Riviera, is now a glamorous seaside town known for the Cannes Film Festival in May. While it has a reputation for luxury, it offers alternatives for all budgets: explore the cobbled streets of Le Suquet, people-watch along the marina, or visit the nearby Îles de Lérins.
