The city of
Cannes
is perhaps most famous for its annual film festival; however, it was
the centre of significant activity long before the festival was first
celebrated and has a long and interesting history dating back thousands
of years. Today, its atmosphere of vibrancy and cultural richness is
fortified by its proud heritage.
Cannes Weather
The climate in
Cannes
is typically Mediterranean and the city enjoys a good 12 hours of
sunshine per day during the summer season (May to September), while in
winter (December to February), the weather is very mild. Both seasons
see a relatively low level of rainfall and the most significant period
of rain is during October and November, when an average of 110
millimetres is the norm.
Cityscape
The first place to visit is La Croisette, the beautiful waterfront
avenue with gorgeous palm trees offering a relaxing promenade. La
Croisette is very famous for its picturesque beaches where you can find
many first-class resorts, restaurants, hip cafés and an
array of brand name boutiques. La Suquet, the old town of Cannes,
provides the breathtaking view of La Croisette. Visitors can see the
remains of the fortified tower and the fascinating Chapel of St Anne
housing the Musée de la Castre. In which are displayed many
items from artworks, musical instruments, sculptures, decorative arts
to a section on ethnography. Some nice public beaches can also be found
in this area. For chilling atmosphere stroll to Îles de
Lérins where the unlucky man immortalised in The Man in the
Iron Mask was imprisoned. This is only a short boat ride offshore.
Culture
If you visit Cannes
at the right time of the year, you can take advantage of the
city’s varied selection of cultural events, with the
International Film Festival perhaps being the most famous. When the
calendar has a blank spot, visitors will find plenty of static
attractions to keep them occupied, with historical and natural sights
topping the bill. The beach is of course the most popular attraction
for many and Cannes’
golden sands are a great place to spend lazy summer days, while the
blue ocean waters offer plenty of opportunities to get active.
Cannes Film
Festival
The
Cannes
Film Festival (French: le Festival international du film de
Cannes
or simply le Festival de
Cannes),
founded in 1939, is considered one of the world's most prestigious film
festivals and is a part of the history of
Cannes.
It is the highlight of the city’s event calendar and is a
two-week long event that sees the city descended upon by major
Hollywood actors and directors as well as a large number of independent
film makers. Movies are screened throughout the period.
In May 2006, Hollywood Reporter acknowledged that
Cannes
is the "granddaddy of all film festivals". The private festival is held
annually; usually in the month of May.
