Cannes Excursions & Attractions
The city is perhaps best known for hosting the Cannes Film Festival, an annual event that transforms the town into a star-studded spectacle. Even outside festival season, the spirit of cinema permeates the air, with the iconic red-carpeted steps of the Palais des Festivals serving as a popular photo spot.
For a taste of old-world charm, venture into Le Suquet, the historic old town. Wander through its winding cobblestone streets, admire the panoramic views from the hilltop, and explore the Musée de la Castre, housed in a medieval castle. The nearby Marché Forville offers a sensory feast of local produce, flowers, and Provençal specialties.
Beach lovers will be spoiled for choice, with both public and private beaches lining the coast. For a unique experience, take a short boat trip to the Lérins Islands, where you can explore the tranquil monasteries of Saint-Honorat or the historic Fort Royal on Sainte-Marguerite.
