    About this ebook

    A complete guide for everything you need to experience a great Long Weekend in Cannes, one of the jewels of the French Riviera. You don’t have to go to Cannes in May during the Film Festival (it’s impossible to get rooms anyway). Cannes is as good in winter as it is in summer. (Even Cary Grant and Grace Kelly enjoyed it off season.)


     


    “We couldn’t believe the beauty of this place, especially as seen from the hill above Cannes looking down from an 11th Century tower of an old medieval castle, something we never would have thought to see without reading it in this guide.” ---Ashley H., Fairfield


     


    “We enjoyed visiting the little restaurants we found in this guide that took us to the side streets—away from tourists—we got to see how the locals live.” ---Giselle M., Dover


    You'll save a lot of time using this concise guide.
    =LODGINGS (throughout the area) variously priced
    =FINE & BUDGET RESTAURANTS, more than enough listings to give you a sense of the variety to be found. 
    =PRINCIPAL ATTRACTIONS -- don't waste your precious time on the lesser ones. We've done all the work for you.


     


    =A handful of interesting shopping ideas.

      WHY CANNES?

      Cannes-Film-Festival

      Although people associate Cannes with the film festival that takes place here every May, a good thing to remember about Cannes is that this is perhaps the one month you’ll want to avoid the city.

      Either way, it’s one of the jewels of the Riviera and has to be seen once in your life.

      It’s as much fun in winter as in summer, in spring as in fall. Every time I visit (I’m in the movie business also, so it’s usually in May that I’m there), I wonder what I’m doing living somewhere else when this place is available. There’s just nothing like it in the world.

      cannes-port

      It’s got superior weather, lots of interesting historical attractions, stunning beaches with the tranquil Mediterranean waters lapping the shoreline, all manner of outdoor activities associated with the water: sailing, fishing, swimming, yachting.

      Cannes also has fine shopping, in the same manner as Worth Avenue in Palm Beach does. The Cartier store may not be that big, but it’s there, just in case an Arabian potentate or South American ex-pat dictator may stroll in to buy a bauble for his mistress-of-the-week. (And they do, believe me.)

      Another good thing about Cannes is that it’s so centrally located, right on the main rail line running from Marseille right through Nice to Monte Carlo and then into Italy.

      Cannes.
