Property in Cannes

Not every resort can boast of fame around the world. With a year round population of just over 70,000 inhabitants and covering almost 20 square kilometers, Cannes is a coastal city with a wonderful climate and has become very popular all over the world.

Landmarks in Cannes include the ''Chateau du Suquet'', built in 1035 by monks to fortify the city, which offers panoramic views of the bay of Cannes. 'Iles de Lerins' and 'Ile Sainte Marguerite', a large island where the Man in The mask was in captivity for 11 years and his cage can be visited at 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 brings all movie stars from all over the world to Cannes for twelve days in May creating a unique atmosphere.

  • MIPIM is an exhibition where developers from all over the world present their latest projects to potential investors.
  • MIPCOM, an international film festival and marketplace program for television, video, cable and satellite technologies, takes place in October.
  • MIDEM, the World Music Market Exhibition, takes place in January.

In general, there are about 11 exhibitions and festivals in Cannes a year. This economic activity has prompted a large investment in real estate, in the center of Cannes. Indeed, there is such a problem, there are not enough hotel rooms to meet the demand at major exhibitions and peak periods of summer. 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 to buy range from 4,000 to over 20,000 euros per square meter. Another prestigious place is the Palm Beach area with its casinos and nightclubs.

The sandy beaches of the Croisette and in the West 'les plages du Midi' are ideal for summer holidays, places where you can enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, relax under the sun. Enjoy a ride on all water modes of transport, or simply refresh yourself every morning with a walk along the streets of Cannes or the promenade. Many shops can be found including famous boutiques on the Croisette such as Gucci, Chanel, Dior etc. The Croisette is also home to the world's most luxurious hotels, including Carlton, Majestic, and the Martinez Hotel.

Cannes is located on two hills overlooking the bay, in the East - Californie, in the West - Croix des Gardes. These areas are the main residential areas and here you can find the best villas and apartments with the most breathtaking views of Cannes, the islands and the hills to the west.
