Cannes

Cannes is a generous city with everything you need and a wide range of food outlets, particularly in the form of snack bars but also high-end restaurants. Provencal, Italian, Swiss and Chinese cuisine are among the many options available. Not to mention fast food: big brands such as McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Starbucks and Subway all have outlets in Cannes. For a different eating experience, there are many snack bars in the city offering a wide range of sandwiches, crêpes, ice creams, waffles and churros. As such, students on the hunt for different taste sensations will always have their needs met. After eating, you’ll want to burn off the calories. As luck would have it a wide range of leisure activities is on offer here, giving everyone the opportunity to have fun in their own way.

Let’s get this out there: Cannes is the perfect spot for shopping! Fashionable clothes for boys or girls, haute couture or off the rack, anything is possible. Stores on la Croisette offer high-end brands such as Chanel, Dior, Armani and Yves Saint-Laurent. If you like, you can simply stroll along this avenue and the streets of Cannes such as rue Meynadier. Some neighborhoods, like La Bocca will suit those on a smaller budget. With their purchases in hand, visitors then check out the large number of bars, admire the panoramic view from le Suquet and the stunning yachts of the Port.

Escape Games are popular with everyone after class or at weekends. But those who prefer a race simulator or laser game won't be disappointed. Whatever your preference, there are thrills to be had: flight simulators and virtual reality are always on offer in Cannes! In a central coastal location, with excellent transport links as well as a wide range of leisure activities, Cannes fully deserves its status as an international city where boredom is not an option. And cinema? As everyone knows, Cannes has a real passion for the silver screen, as can be seen in the “murs peints” murals which depict the great stars of cinema. The city's movie theaters are the finest and most modern on the Côte d'Azur and play host to many movie premiers.

A whole raft of sport and physical activities is on offer: Wipeout courses, obstacle courses, BigAirBag, bowling, climbing walls and dodgeball. Lovers of sun and sea will be spoilt for choice, or have “l'embarras du choix” as we say in French. Water ski-ing, parasailing, waterboarding, catamaraning, wind-surfing, kite-surfing and banana-boating are available all summer long. Those who enjoy sunbathing and bathing in the sea will head for the city's private or public beaches. They offer the opportunity to bathe in clean water or play a match of volley-ball.
