Cannes
Cannes is among the most glamorous places on earth, with the jet-set letting loose on the sandy beaches, fine restaurants and bars, luxury boutiques, private yachts, and the palace hotels lining the famous Boulevard de la Croisette.
Each May, Cannes hosts the world’s most famous film festival and the entire A-list celebrity roster ascends the red-carpeted stairs to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. Now, Cannes rolls out the red carpet for you.
From the modest fishermen's village to the world-famous seaside and cultural city, Cannes forged a unique history that today attracts visitors from around the world. Cannes faces a dreamy bay bordered by the Lérins islands, an ideal setting and climate to launch your cycling season and discover this magnificent region with your family.
La Croisette
Consisting of the boulevard and promenade of the same name, the Croisette runs along the white sandy beaches facing the bay of Cannes. Lined with numerous hotels, luxury boutiques and holiday residences, it is a mecca for events and tourism on the French Riviera.
The islands of Lerin
Off the coast of Cannes, the two islands of Lerins offer a haven of peace and greenery just a few minutes by boat from the coast. You can enjoy seafood while watching the sea from a panoramic terrace.
Le Cape of Antibes
The second largest city in the department, Antibes is located on a superb site, with its ramparts facing the sea, a fabulous marina and an old town with winding streets. Founded in the 4th century by the Greeks, Antibes was very popular with artists during the last century: Ernst, Prévert, Picasso among others.
Grasse
Only 17km from Cannes, the picturesque old town is perched on the foothills of the Provencal Alps. Grasse is the capital of the perfume industry. The city owes its name to its "greasy" soil which has long favored the cultivation of flowers.
Village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Since the 1950s, the village has been transformed into a real movie set. Here, the greatest stars of the 7th Art met, attracted to the French Riviera by the Victorine studios in Nice and the Cannes Film Festival.
Gorges du Verdon
The Gorges du Verdon are the most impressive in Europe. They form a kind of natural border between the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and the Var, a deep cut of 21 km long in the earth. There, the Verdon river flows sometimes ferociously. A must for rafting, kayaking, hydrospeed and canyoning enthusiasts.
