Cannes Film Festival

Every year, during the second half of May, the French Riviera becomes the centre of the cultural world. The mythical Palais des Festivals, anchored on the famous Boulevard de la Croisette, dons its red carpet to welcome the biggest names in cinema. Film lovers and the curious flock to catch a glimpse of international celebrities and feel the unique buzz of the race for the Palme d'Or.

For a successful Cannes outing, the ideal is to arrive in the early afternoon to stroll along the bay and soak up the joyful atmosphere in the city. In the late afternoon, head to the famous steps to watch the film teams parade. It is a show in itself, accessible to all visitors, where elegance and passion for cinema meet under the Mediterranean sun.

Located just forty kilometres from Cannes, your holiday destination in Fréjus is the perfect starting point. To avoid parking constraints during peak periods, take the train: the coastal line drops you in the heart of Cannes city centre, offering a spectacular panorama of the Var and Alpes-Maritimes coastline along the way.
