This city owes its popularity and rather high prices mainly to the annual film festival. However, the rest of the time there are enough celebrities of different sizes, among whom there are many natives of the CIS countries. Expensive yachts in the harbor, fashionable boutiques, elite restaurants and snow-white beaches are waiting for you in the festival capital!
The Croisette is a favorite place for residents and guests of Cannes. Here is the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès with its world-famous staircase and avenue of stars, where celebrities leave their palm prints. If you want quiet, head to the island of St. Honoré, which belongs to a monastic order. For 1600 years there has been an abbey here (today it is home to about 30 monks), where a secret recipe is used to produce the liqueur "Lerina".
Saint-Marguerite is another interesting island not far from Cannes. In the XVII century the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned in Fort Royal. It is now the Museum of the Sea, but the cell of the famous prisoner has been preserved in its original state. The island has a Sailing and Scuba Diving Center where you can learn how to scuba dive.
