Cannes Travel Guide: Reviews, photos, & videos
So it’s kind of hard to mention Cannes without talking about that tiny little film festival that happens there every year. The Cannes Film Festival – which is the pinnacle of international film making – is an amazing celebration of cinema that occurs every year in late May in this once small fishing village. The most famous and beautiful people (like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Johnny Depp) in the entire world conglomerate in quite possibly the most exquisite spot in all of the South of France to enjoy great cinema, decadent parties and phenomenal scenery. Sounds like heaven right? Well, heaven is kind of a good word to use when describing Cannes. Located on the stunning French Riviera, Cannes is the pure definition of European luxury: high-end boutiques, world class restaurants, prestigious hotels and of course- celebrities, celebrities, celebrities.
For those wanting to check out the high-end real estate in Cannes, you’ll find that there are numerous glamorous Cannes vacation properties and seaside homes in Cannes ideal for the big spender looking to live the high life. Speaking of the highlife – charter a yacht or boat (just in case you don’t already own one) and take a trip out to the gorgeous St. Marguerite Island which is famous for it’s spectacular, tree lined beauty as well for being the island from which it took “the Man in the Iron Mask” 11 years to escape. Then head back to Cannes and check out the Notre-Dame d’Esperance – a pristine Gothic church nestled atop the quaint Suqet hill in old Cannes that dates all the way back to the 14th century. And if you happen to find yourself in Cannes in late May and you see someone who looks like Paris Hilton – well, snap a picture and keep on walking. It’s kind of a normal thing in Cannes.
