Cannes

An internationally recognised resort city on the Riviera whose Croisette boulevard runs along a long sandy beach backed by luxury hotels and palm trees. The hilltop old quarter of Le Suquet rises above the port and offers a panoramic counterpoint to the glamour below. The Lérins Islands — Île Sainte-Honorat with its working monastery and Île Saint-Honorat — are accessible by short boat ride from the harbour.
