Discovering Cannes and its Surrounds
Famed for its glamorous film festival, Cannes is a city that effortlessly combines elegance, charm, and Mediterranean allure. At its centre, the palm-lined Boulevard de la Croisette offers a scenic promenade along the sparkling Bay of Cannes, where designer boutiques, luxury hotels, and private beach clubs create a vibrant atmosphere.
Wander through the historic quarter of Le Suquet, with its winding lanes, colourful houses, and panoramic views from the old church of Notre-Dame d’Espérance. The nearby Marché Forville bursts with Provençal produce, artisanal cheeses, and fragrant flowers – a delight for the senses. Beyond the city, the Lérins Islands lie just a short boat ride away, offering tranquil pine forests, crystal-clear waters, and the fascinating Fort Royal.
Inland, the rolling hills of the Esterel Massif and medieval villages like Mougins and Grasse invite exploration, whether you’re hiking, dining, or discovering local art. With its mix of cultural richness and seaside beauty, Cannes is an unforgettable destination on the Côte d’Azur, making it the perfect place to extend your visit when joining us for the Cannes Yachting Festival.
