Not every resort can boast of fame throughout the world. Cannes is a city with a year-round population of just over 70,000 residents and covers almost 20 square kilometers. These coastal cities with a wonderful climate have become very popular all over the world.
Attractions in Cannes include The Chateau du Suquet, built in 1035 by monks to fortify the city, offers panoramic views of the Bay of Cannes. The Iles de Lerins and Ile Sainte Marguerite, the large island where the Man in the Iron Mask was held captive for 11 years. His cage can be visited in the Maritime Museum.
The world-famous Palais des Festivals hosts numerous congresses and festivals throughout the year, the most famous of which is the International Film Festival, which attracts all the stars of the world to Cannes for twelve days in May, creating a unique atmosphere.
In general, Cannes hosts approximately 11 trade fairs and festivals per year. This economic activity has generated significant investment in real estate in the center of Cannes. Indeed, there is a problem with not enough hotel rooms to meet demand for major trade fairs and peak summer periods. There are many apartments for rent in the center of Cannes, in the area known as "La Banane," located between the Croisette and the ring road, where prices per square meter range from 4,000 to more than 20,000 euros per square meter. Another prestigious location is the Palm Beach area with its casinos and nightclubs.
The sandy beaches of the Croisette and the western 'les plages du Midi' are ideal for a summer holiday, a place where you can enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, relax in the sun, have fun on all kinds of water transport, or simply refresh yourself every morning with a stroll along the streets of Cannes or the promenade. You can find many shops, including the famous boutiques of the Croisette, such as Gucci, Chanel, Dior, etc. The Croisette is also home to luxury hotels of the world, in particular the Carlton, the Majestic, and the Hotel Martinez.
