Today, I would
like to present you an insider’s guide to a brilliant city of the French
Riviera (the “Côte d’Azur” in French) : Cannes!
I think
everybody knows Cannes, or at least its famous Cannes Film Festival.
Cannes is for sure a glitter and bling City with its fabulous promenade “La
Croisette" but it really should be one step of your French trip.
So why don’t start this trip visiting this
successful city, assisting to its Festival and strolling on its beautiful
hidden places?
It is sure that the world-class collection of palace hotels is kept turning
over happily. The ambitious boutiques, too. Amazingly the story of a modest
little town in the South of France is constantly holding the world’s attention!
I went there
last year in May for a week end, and I just kept an amazing memory of the time
I spent there. It was the same week than the Film Festival, so I will
tell you more about it on this article…
Firstly, even
if it is the beginning of all traditional tourist tour, you MUST start your day with a walk on the magnificent
Croisette. The old Suquet Hill district, just past the port, where Cannes stated in a broth of
wriggling streets, will also be the perfect area for a relaxing stroll.
Then, in order to have
a break full of sunshine, the only thing you have to do is to sunbathe at one
of the beach bordering the city (just follow the palmtrees they will lead you...)
If you are lucky,
maybe you will be visiting Cannes during the week of its famous Festival. It is
for you a great opportunity to get a
crowd bath between stars and photographers. To assist at movies projection you
need a special card (or to wait several hours at the entry..). But to go there will
be the opportunity for you to discover the “Palais des Festivals et des Congrès”. Above all, isn’t it amazing to plunge at
once into this particular atmosphere ?
This year, the
69th Cannes Film Festival will take place from the 11th
until the 22nd of May 2016, with an exciting line-up showcasing a
mix of anticipated films from across the world.
This year, Woody Allen will open the
Festival with his latest comedy, Café Society. The Australian
filmmaker George Miller (“Mad Max” director) has been selected to head the jury and hand out the Palme d’Or.
You can also
visit the official website of the Festival to get more information.
The most difficult thing to face during these holidays
will be to find a place on the sand for your beach towel…and that’s all!
The great life, isn’t it ?
This is already my last article.. I hope you enjoyed discovering France through its cities.
Have a great trip there !
