Although famous for the international film festival held there annually, there is more to Cannes than the glitz of the silver screen, casinos, and beautiful beaches (ranked among the 5 best beaches in France by US News and World Report).

You can stroll the famous “La Croisette” promenade, walk past the Film Festival auditorium, and admire the Painted Walls of Cannes which pay tribute to the cinema industry. If you feel like tackling some stairs, walk up to the Suquet district, the old city quarter when Cannes was just a fishing village. Or, enjoy souvenir shopping or a bite to eat in one of the many shops or cafés.

A 15-minute ferry ride away from Cannes is Sainte-Marguerite Island, a haven of calm and natural beauty. It also boasts an interesting history and a former fort-turned-prison which housed the cell of the legendary Man in the Iron Mask and is now a museum.
