Now famous for its Film Festival, attracting thousands of international visitors every year, it’s difficult to believe that the ‘capital of film’ was a small fishing village in the 19th century.
But in spite of its glitz and glamour and the famous red carpet steps leading to the ‘Palais des Festivals,' Cannes has retained all of its former charm and offers many bed and breakfast to enjoy it in: visit La Croisette which follows the curve of the bay, the old port full of magnificent yachts, Meynadier street, the sandy beaches and just off the coast, the beautiful Lérin islands. Further along the coast, Antibes, Nice, Bras and Cagnes-sur-Mer are all well worth a visit. And not far inland, in the lovely coastal hills , the famous town of Grasse is a delight to visit with its famous perfumes and essences.
