Cannes is one of the most popular towns on the French Riviera.
Its beaches, Mediterranean climate and exceptional geographical location near Nice (15.5 miles), Monaco (22 miles) and Saint-Tropez (27 miles) attract some three million visitors from all around the world each year.
Of course, when talking about Cannes, we inevitably think about the International Film Festival and la Croisette, the unmissable seafront promenade. It was an English politician and writer, Lord Henry Brougham, who fell in love with the town in 1834 and subsequently introduced it to his compatriots.
