| Cannes Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Considering a Cannes vacation? Not too sure what to expect during a trip to Cannes? If the answer is yes and yes, then there are a few things you should know about this awe-inspiring resort city on the fabulous French Riviera. Cannes is famous for couture, clothing-optional beaches, and the Carlton. And of course, Cannes is the place where Coco Chanel got that famous tan that sparked a worldwide obsession with the deepest, darkest shade one could possibly achieve. But what most people really think of when hear "Cannes" is the star-studded annual Cannes International Film Festival. You will definitely hear less and less about what Cannes is really about and more and more about who's wearing (and not wearing) what to the Cannes International Film Festival during the first half of the year. If you must go during festival time (or if you want to), be prepared for plenty of flashing cameras, celebrities galore, controlled chaos, and no vacancy signs at the Carlton, Hotel Martinez, and just about any other hotel or Chateau from Cannes to Nice and beyond. Also, you will have a tough time getting into many Cannes restaurants during this time as well and your chances of getting into a screening are nearly nearly zero percent. If you can avoid taking a Cannes vacation during this time, great! When the town isn't so focused on celebrities and film, you can enjoy everything Cannes has to offer to the very fullest - and then some. Cannes enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate year around, so with the exception of the mid-May, when the Cannes International Film Festival takes place, anytime is a good time to go. While you will find plenty of tourists here every single month of the year, summer is the most popular time to go. The beaches, promenades, boutiques, nightclubs, and restaurants are at their peak and people are really just out to have a good time when the temperature is at its hottest. Some of the most popular Cannes activities and attractions include: Plage de la Croisette, Promenade de la Croisette, Iles de Lerins, Musee de la Castre, the old town of Cannes, Ile St. Honorat, the Carlton, and Notre Dame de Bon Voyage to name a few.

This is not to say that the Cannes club scene isn't hot -- it certainly is. But, the people of Cannes would much rather hit a casino than a dance club. At least this is what we've heard. Cannes has a number of world-class casinos such as Palm Beach Casino (www.lepalmbeach.com) and the veteran Casino Croisette (www.lucienbarriere.com), as well as some of the hippest clubs in France such as Le Life (22 rue Mace) and swank bars such as Bar des Stars in the Hotel Majestic Barriere (14 La Croisette). One thing to keep in mind when visiting "pretty people" nightclubs, bars or lounges and any casino -- dress the part or you won't get in.
