Cannes is the most famous city on the French Riviera, renowned for its International Film Festival, when it is taken over by stars, journalists, photographers and curious onlookers, who crowd the promenades, hotels and bars in search of fame. Those who choose this bustling and exclusive city do so to breathe in and feel part of a majestic and elite atmosphere: Cannes offers historic buildings, trendy restaurants, colossal yachts and many VIPs on holiday. Between expensive hotels, elegant buildings and crowded beaches, you may feel a little overwhelmed by this lively town. Although a stroll along La Croisette, the most exclusive promenade on the French Riviera, is a must, Cannes also has a few peaceful corners that eschew opulence and ostentation.
