Cannes is a city located in the region of Provence-Alps-Cte d'Azur in south-eastern France. Cannes has a population of just over 70,000, it is easily the most famous area of the French Riviera and is usually a very busy destination because if it’s good weather and local attritions. Cannes is also all about the party. Cannes is most famous for its self-named film festival.

Cannes is quite a small town, but it is a town of many faces. The city center is composed of three very different landscapes. Cannes is just a great celebration of filmmaking. Cannes is a very important venue for international cinema.

Cannes is the third largest city in the department by its population which can triple during the tourist season, from 70.000 people in October to 210.000 people during the summer. The main resource of Cannes is tourism. Cannes is a place of great antiquity, but its earlier history is very obscure. It was twice destroyed by the Saracens in the 8th and the 10th centuries; but it was afterwards repopulated by a colony from Genoa. Cannes is pleasant year round. Autumn sees the fewest tourists, with the peak season coinciding with the hottest months of July and August.

Cannes is swarmed with filmmakers, producers and distributors all looking for business. Cannes is famous for couture, clothing-optional beaches, and the Carlton. And of course, Cannes is the place where Coco Chanel got that famous tan that sparked a worldwide obsession with the deepest, darkest shade one could possibly achieve. Cannes is an exclusive, sun-drenched town in the south of France, in a prime location on the French Riviera. One of the most elitist and expensive areas in Europe, Cannes is an international symbol of luxury, extravagance and wealth.
