One of the most significant events in the world of auteur cinema – the Cannes Film Festival takes place at the Palais des Festivals and Congresses, which is located on the Croisette embankment near the old port. Previously, this building housed a casino. Despite the worldwide fame and undeniable cultural value of this place, the architecture of the building is not admired, as the palace looks like a monumental giant of the era of socialism.

A walking boulevard that stretches along the coast of Cannes. The appearance of the Croisette was formed in the XIX century, it was laid on the site of an old road known since the time of the Roman Empire. The embankment connects Cape Palm Beach and the Palace of Festivals and Congresses. Along the alley there are shops of famous designers, luxury hotels that accept only guests of the Cannes Festival, restaurants and casinos.

A small area near the Chevalier Mountain, which consists of only a few narrow streets. This place is also called the Old Town. There are several historical attractions here: Cathedral of Our Lady of Hope, watchtower and Castle de la Cast with a museum. In Le Suque there are several expensive restaurants with excellent cuisine that can please even discerning gourmets.

The old port is adjacent to the historic district of Le Suquet. He is a famous symbol of Cannes and the entire French Riviera. Today there is a picturesque marina on its territory, where snow-white yachts and other, more modest vessels are moored. Fishing boats depart from the berths to the sea in the expectation of a rich catch. The Royal Regatta also starts from here every year.

The main avenue of Cannes, where boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops are at the service of tourists. This place has long been favored by representatives of European and American bohemians, often you can see world-famous stars here. Architecturally, Antibes is an ordinary street of a French city with stone facades stuck to each other, paved sidewalks and a narrow roadway.

The alley is located near the Palace of Festivals and Congresses. It is a part of the sidewalk, where slabs with palm prints of famous people are embedded. It will not even be immediately possible to notice it against the general background. In general, people do not show any "respect" for the stars: sellers put goods on the plates, passers-by pass by every now and then, which is why some of the prints are not in the best condition.

Forville is the most famous market on the French Riviera. It is visited by both ordinary people and chefs of gourmet restaurants to buy fresh products for their culinary masterpieces. It seems that all the best is sold here: vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, cheeses and herbs look like in the picture just drawn. It is possible and necessary to bargain, but sellers often speak only French.

The museum collection is located on the territory of the castle, built to protect the city from attacks from the sea. Archaeological, ethnographic and artistic exhibits are exhibited here. Visitors can see canvases by Cannes and Provence artists, ancient artifacts from around the world, statues, icons, calligraphy and many other interesting objects. At the entrance to the museum there is another attraction – the watchtower.

The museum is located on the island of St. Margaret, a 20-minute boat ride from the coast of Cannes in the former building of the royal prison Fort Royal. The collection is an exhibition of archaeological finds recovered from the seabed and belonging to different time periods. Temporary photo exhibitions are also held here. Tourists will be interested to visit the cell of the mysterious prisoner known as the "Iron Mask".

The temple is located on the territory of the historical quarter of Le Suquet. The building was erected at the beginning of the XVII century to meet the needs of the increased flock. The facade of the church is built in the Gothic style, the bell tower is designed in an older Romanesque manner, and the gates have obvious Renaissance features. The external and internal appearance of the temple are distinguished by restraint and even some modesty. A music festival takes place here in the summer.

The temple is located next to the Palace of Festivals and Congresses a block from the Croisette. The first chapel was built on this site in the XVI century, at that time it was surrounded by poor fishing huts. The modern building was built in the second half of the XIX century. A famous historical event is connected with Notre-Dame de Bon Voyage - Napoleon's triumphal march on Paris in 1815.

Orthodox church, built by the French architect L. Nouveau at the end of the XIX century. The building is located on Alexander III Boulevard. Russian Russian immigrants initiated the construction of the church, as for a long time the only Orthodox parish in Cannes operated in the villa of the Russian aristocrat A. F. Trip (Skripitsyna), which hardly accommodated everyone. The temple is built in the style of non-Russian eclecticism.

The abbey is an important shrine in France, a considerable number of pilgrims come here. The monastery is located on the island of Saint-Honorat about 3 km from Cannes. The complex consists of several dozen architectural objects: towers, fortresses, churches, outbuildings. The brothers are engaged in the cultivation of oranges, grapes and lavender. Many tourists come here for monastery wine and liqueur.

It is quite typical for France that ancient cemeteries are becoming popular architectural landmarks. The Grand-Jas necropolis in Cannes did not escape this fate either. Many famous personalities and heroes of wars are buried in this place. Its territory is divided into Anglo-Saxon, Italian, Russian and Jewish sections. The cemetery administration offers tourists the services of a tour guide.

An archipelago off the Cote d'Azur, consisting of two inhabited (Saint-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat) and several uninhabited islands. They were salted back in the era of Ancient Rome. In the 5th century Bishop Honoratus of Arelat founded a monastery here. The islands can be reached by a pleasure boat. Tourists come here to relax and enjoy the silence, beauty and peace of mind after the arrogant Cannes.
