Cannes - festival

The best known festival de Cannes is the Cannes Film Festival, which takes over the city every May. Tickets to shows are via invite only, but feel free to star watch along the boulevards. There are many other Cannes events to check out. At any time of year visit the Allee des Etoiles (stars’ walk) where 300 stars have placed autographed imprints of their hands. Two of the best Cannes events occur in July, as Fireworks explode over the bay on the 4th for America’s independence day, and again on the 14th for France. Also in July is Les Nuits Musicales du Suquet, a festival of music performances.

Cannes France, famous for the Festival de Cannes, and the celebrity stars that frequent the boulevards, is an exciting and vibrant city on the French Riviera. Beaches, shopping, and museums keep you busy, making Cannes France a great destination during a France holiday.
