Cannes 2023: The city of Cannes boasts of stunning beaches, luxury shopping and dining streets, and has something for everyone
Located in the South Eastern province of France, Cannes is a beautiful coastal city in the French Riviera. The city is known for its sandy beaches, luxury hotels and of course the famous international film festival that takes place every year. So, this time, when you are in Cannes, here are five things you must keep in mind to make your trip a memorable one.
- Explore the Old City
The charming old town of Cannes, also known as Le Suquet, is situated on a hill overlooking the city and the sea. Walk through the narrow streets lined with colorful houses and cute cafes, and soak up the authentic Provencal atmosphere. If you want to add a bit of adventure to it, try climbing to the top of the hill to visit the 12th-century Notre-Dame de l’Espérance church, which offers stunning views of the city and the Mediterranean. - relax on the beach
This should be the highlight of your trip! Cannes is famous for its beautiful sandy beaches, which are perfect for sunbathing, swimming and water sports. The most popular beach is La Croisette, a long stretch of sand lined with chic beach clubs and restaurants for those who prefer to chill by the sea. For a more secluded experience, head to Plage du Midi, a quiet beach located just south of La Croisette. - Attend the Cannes Film Festival
If you happen to be in town during May, don’t miss the annual Cannes Film Festival. It is considered one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. If you’re lucky enough to be in Cannes during the festival, you can watch movies, attend red carpet events, and see celebrities from around the world. - take a boat trip
The best way to see the French Riviera is by boat. If you’re in Cannes, you can take a day trip to the nearby islands of Ile Sainte-Honorat and Ile Sainte-Marguerite, known for their stunning natural scenery, crystal-clear waters, and historic sites. - Shop and Dine in Style
Lastly, but most important of them all, Cannes is known for its luxury shopping and dining options. Along the famous La Croisette, you’ll find high-end fashion boutiques and jewelry stores, as well as some of the best restaurants in the area. For a more hyper local experience, head to Rue Meynadier, a pedestrian street lined with bakeries, cheese shops and market stalls selling freshly made goods.
