Cannes – glamour at the heart of the Côte d’Azur
Set right on the Mediterranean, Cannes is the jewel of the French Riviera. What was once a fishing village has become the showpiece of the Côte d’Azur. The historic old town sits on the hill of Le Suquet: centuries-old ramparts, the Musée de la Castre and the bell tower of the church of Notre-Dame-d’Espérance form a remarkable historic ensemble. Below the charming lanes lie the Old Port with the Quai Saint-Pierre and the Marché Forville. Art lovers appreciate La Malmaison, an art centre that regularly hosts exhibitions from Picasso to Matisse. A stroll through town also reveals the grand villas of illustrious families, such as the Villa Rothschild and the Villa Domergue.
Laid out in the 19th century, the Boulevard de la Croisette is today the famous palm-lined promenade – home to luxury hotels, elegant restaurants, boutiques, bars and our VON POLL REAL ESTATE shop. Every May, all eyes turn to the International Film Festival: the Palme d’Or is awarded at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. A short boat trip from the Old Port, the Lérins Islands reveal the Fort Royal on Île Sainte-Marguerite and the abbey on Île Saint-Honorat.
Economy and infrastructure in Cannes
Tourism is the most important sector of the Cannes economy. The city welcomes around three million visitors a year and, thanks to the festival, trade fairs and congresses at the Palais des Festivals, is one of France’s leading conference destinations after Paris. Trade and the aerospace industry complete the picture – with Thales Alenia Space in Cannes-la-Bocca as one of the largest employers in the region. Nearby, the Sophia Antipolis technology park in Valbonne is home to numerous international companies and research institutions.
Cannes station offers direct TGV services to Paris, and regional trains connect the city with Nice, Antibes and Grasse. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is around 30 km away, while Cannes-Mandelieu Airport serves business and private aviation. Via the A8 motorway, Nice, Monaco and Marseille are within easy reach.
