Cannes

Book a train ticket

Located in the Alpes-Maritimes, in the south-east of France, Cannes is a flagship city of the Côte d'Azur. Its pleasant climate in all seasons, the beauty of its beaches and the international fame of its film festival attract many visitors every year, charmed by the sweetness of life in the baie des Anges. In terms of gastronomy, Cannes relies on sunny Mediterranean recipes prepared with salads, roasted vegetables and olive oil. How about a good ratatouille or a little stuffed meat?

All periods of the year are suitable for a stay in Cannes. In spring, the city comes alive for the famous Film Festival, a pretext for many trendy parties. In summer, tourists take advantage of the good weather to laze on the beaches or hike in the hinterland. Autumn still offers a few beautiful days to stroll around the city. Finally, winter is a calm season when visitors can appreciate the sweetness of life and discover the city, its monuments and its museums at their own pace.

The Cannes Film Festival awards its famous Palme d'Or every year. But where does this symbol come from? It refers to the Abbey of Lérins, of which the palm is the emblem. The legend says that a monk, Saint Honorat, would have climbed to the top of a palm tree to ask God to rid the island of Lérins of the poisonous snakes which infested it then. The crossing to discover the island and its abbey leaves from the port of Cannes and lasts approximately 15 minutes.
