Cannes

Cannes occupies a coastal strip on the Bay of Cannes in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The city faces the Lérins Islands, including Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat, whose wooded shores lie just offshore in the Mediterranean. Boulevard de la Croisette follows the waterfront past beaches, grand hotels and the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, the venue for the Cannes Film Festival. Above the old harbour, Le Suquet retains the steep lanes of Cannes’s historic quarter, while Notre-Dame d’Espérance overlooks the port. Cannes is also shaped by yachting, markets and the daily rhythms of the Riviera coast. See how Cannes fits into the Côte d’Azur by browsing webcams nearby.
