| Page Views: 1,528 Last Visit to Cannes: May, 2002 | Cannes during the International Film Festival by Tolik - last update: Sep 8, 2002 |
We specifically booked a unit at Marina Baie des Anges resort May 18 – 25 because the 55th Cannes International Film Festival was held at this time. |
Cannes has an incredible number of vacation activities. Our favorite included visiting the International Film festival, exploring beautiful Cannes and Nice, visiting amazing Eze and Vileneuve-Loubet, enjoing world class museums in Antibes, Nice and Biot.
We stayed in a small resort town Villeneuve-Loubet half-way between Nice and Cannes. Located in the heart of the French Riviera, Villeneuve-Loubet affords the advantages of both seaside resort and countryside town. Actually there are two Villeneuve-Loubet’s: at the confluent river Loupet Mardaric, the old town of Villeneuve-Loubet sits atop a little hill while the new city spreads out right to the Mediterranean.
Usually the Festival starts the second Wednesday in May and ends on the fourth Sunday. However, this year 2002 the festival moved up one week due to the French elections. We’ve had awesome experience! |

A visit to Cannes would be even more interesting during the film festival. |
