Cannes is the "star" of the French Riviera

Cannes is a glamorous seaside town considered to be one of the social hubs of Europe. It is famous for the International Film Festival and the glitzy hotels, cars and beaches.

Although its nightlife, casinos and high end restaurants give Cannes a feel of exclusivity, Cannes does have alternatives to suit all types of budgets.

The climate is Mediterranean and the city enjoys 12 hours of sunshine per day during summer (May to September), while in winter (December to February) the weather is mild.

The beaches of Cannes offer a wide variety of water sports and activities, including windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving, waterskiing and other boat-pulled fun devices! Most offer professional instruction as well. Naturally, these activities are only offered during the summer months.
