Holidays in Kannah
Founded in 1830 by Lord Brougham, Cannes is considered a billionaire's getaway and, since 1946, has become the world's film capital. Every May, international film festivals bring together world-famous stars. The magnificent two-kilometer promenade, Boulevard de la Croisette, runs parallel to the beach. The new Palais des Festivals et des Congrès is located at the end of the boulevard on the spit. Mont Chevalier offers a magnificent view with the old town at its foot. It's no coincidence that some of the most famous people of our time from around the world have chosen Cannes as their summer residences! What other city can delight you at any time of year with such beautiful light, such a harmonious blend of seashores and wooded mountain slopes, such lush greenery, such vibrant colors of lush flower beds, such transitions from the blue of the sea to the azure of the sky, such a mild climate, and such air, rich with a thousand aromas?
The Romans settled on these lands, and Napoleon admired them when he landed on the island of Elba. Lord Brouham, the great Chancellor of England, enchanted by the beauty of these places, the hospitality of the locals, and the famous bouillabaisse fish soup, built a luxurious residence here. Thus began Cannes! Billionaires, actors, writers, and poets have made Cannes their home. The warm welcome to visitors and the Provençal charm make Cannes the ideal vacation spot. Charlie Chaplin, Tristan Bernard, Marlene Dietrich, Maurice Chevalier, Sophia Loren, Burt Lancaster, Catherine Deneuve, and Princess Diana have all visited here.
Both charming small hotels and majestic palaces offer refinement and comfortable accommodations to satisfy even the most discerning palate. Give in to temptation and sample typical Mediterranean dishes like ratatouille and aioli. Sample the famous local garlic and the region's black pearl—the olives. The city is full of gastronomic havens where you can quietly savor the myriad colors and flavors of the local cuisine.
