Cannes & the Film Festival

Cannes Film Festival is one the best known film festivals in the world. Although the chance of getting into film showings or ending up at a party with Leo is next to 0, the town is full of celebs so if you hang around by the red carpet long enough or linger by some of the top bars/restaurants/hotels and clubs or luxury Yachts, you could be in for a celebrity spot! But, even if you don't, the town has a great buzz and atmosphere during the festival. There is also a huge screen on the beach giving tourists the chance to watch films, which is also a great experience. Outside of the festival, I enjoyed hopping on the train from Nice to visit Cannes. It has a magnificent boulevard full of palm trees and stunning buildings with beautiful sandy beaches running along side. It has a very rich and luxurious feel about it and is very pleasant to wonder around gazing into designer shops or relaxing in a cafe watching the world go by!
