Sightseeing

Few spots better symbolize the glamour of Cannes than La Croisette, the stretch of sidewalk that runs for roughly 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) along the shoreline. La Croisette looks out to the Mediterranean on one side and is lined with historic hotels, casinos, restaurants, gardens, and more. There are vendors selling souvenirs and upscale shops across the street. Best of all, there are wonderful cafés along the beach and, for a fee, you can rent a lounge chair and umbrella on one of the private beaches belonging to the hotels and sip a refreshing drink a few feet from the water. During the famous Cannes Film Festival, the stars stretch out on the private beaches, surrounded by the paparazzi. Before going, confirm the promenade's renovation is not going to affect your visit.

One of the major reasons to visit Cannes is to spend money. Besides the shops on La Croisette, there are numerous streets heading north from there and paralleling La Croisette. There's the shopping mall Cannes la Bocca and several upscale chain stores such as Gucci for clothes, plus local boutiques. Rue d'Antibes in the city center is good for high-end shopping and people watching, and Rue Meynadier offers specialty food shops like bakeries and cheese stores along with places to find souvenirs and clothing, all on a pedestrian-friendly street.

Arrive early each night of the festival to grab a beach chair and watch a different film on a large outdoor screen at Cinéma de la Plage on Cannes Beach. Check out the guide to the Cannes Film Festival for more information on what (and who) to see where.
