For many visitors, Cannes is

• Festivals and conventions palace

• The Suquet in Cannes

We have specific pages on these important places, which we invite you to consult. But don’t overlook other possible sites you might enjoy.

The beaches of Cannes

There are numerous beaches all along the town. These are sandy beaches, well protected in the Bay of Cannes. Beaches are either public or private.

At the height of the summer season, they are very busy during the day, and some are lively at night. In fact, many beaches host concerts, which are very popular with the younger generation.

Lérins Islands

The Isles de Lérins emerge in the Bay of Cannes, opposite the town, just 1km from the Pointe du Cap, the Pointe Croisette district . Visitors to Cannes can easily visit the two islands of Sainte Marguerite (its coves, Fort Royal, the memory of the Iron Mask, etc.) and Saint Honorat (a Cistercian monastery open to the public).
We present them and give you useful information on our îles de Lérins page.
