"Cannes... chic place" a Cannes Travel Page by micajo

Cannes is the "star" of the French Riviera, famous for the International Film Festival and the glitzy hotels, cars, beaches and visitors attracted here. Although it's probably the opposite of the Beyond type villages, it would be a shame to visit the South of France without experiencing the city for yourself.

Tourists year-round and crowds of tourists in the summer. Exotic people and real people, and plenty of poodles (it is France, after all). The yachts and cruise ships float int he blue water, and you can't always tell which is which by the size.

The city of Cannes is centered around the old port, with the central part quite compact. The famouse"Croisette" is the boulevard and the beach that extends around the bay to the east of the port.
