Located in the heart of the French Riviera, Cannes is one of the most prestigious cities in the world. Authentic sanctuary of prosperity, security, and quality of life, Cannes has truly earned its legendary reputation as a city where life is so wonderful. Splendid surroundings, a luxurious setting, top-quality services, all contribute to make Cannes the ideal destination for luxury tourism. With a remarkably high number of sunny days each year, its luxury hotels that are authentic wonders of the kind, its excellent restaurants, its casinos overflowing with color, its sandy beaches and its magnificient bay, Cannes possesses the qualities which are envied by sea resorts and tourist destinations throughout the world.

Cannes exists only for pleasure. What other town would have two branches of the same jeweler on opposite sides of the street to save clients the trouble of crossing a road? The city is famous for its May International Film Festival, where in successive generations Elizabeth Taylor, Brigitte Bardo and Madonna have dutifully stopped traffic to pander to paparazzi. The parade of starlets along the main thoroughfare, boulevard de la Croisette, feeds the world's front pages for two weeks and launches the vacation season. The only free beach in the area is in front of the hideous Palais des Festivals et des Congrès; the rest of the sand is divided into private strips belonging to the seafront hotels - with the famous Carlton Inter-Continental probably the best symbol of the town.
