What to do and see in Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur: The Best Sights & Landmarks

April 24, 2022 Tynisha Seiler

Galas, regattas, the Film Festival and an outrageously attractive and affluent set characterize Cannes. Vast yachts obscure the view and the town lives up to its motto, "Life is a festival." People-watching is the activity that brings most visitors to Cannes, and hotel-lined La Croisette provides a fine promenade. First popularized by Coco Chanel, Cannes beaches are a huge draw. Get expensive seaside food and drinks service on hotel sand or opt for the free public beaches, Plages du Midi and de la Boca.

La Croisette

This world-famous street, which runs along the shoreline of Cannes, is full of upscale shopping opportunities.

La Croisette is always an awesome place for summer holidays. Its sandy beaches, the great food restaurants and the luxury shops offer all the ingredients of a perfect stay, althought a bit too expensive.

Iles de Lerins

Two islands just a boat ride from Cannes, Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, are covered by eucalyptus and pine forests and are home to Fort Royal.

Reviewed By Rightriviera - Cannes, France

so worth the visit, either by charter crossing or a private hire boat, the views back looking onto Cannes are stunning, the water is fresh and clear, perfect for a picnic and a cool swim

Le Suquet

Reviewed By 523jayab - London, United Kingdom

Fantastic area for a leisurely stroll on a summer day. Quite a few cafes and restaurants along the way, which made it easy to stop and refuel. The old cobble-stoned winding streets take you back to the days gone by - the streets have been there for hundreds of years! Oh and don't forget to stop over at La Gelateria to try one of their amazing flavours. Highly recommended.
