Learn More About Cannes

The Riviera at its most cinematic.

Cannes made its name on a single fortnight in May, but the city rewards attention all year. The Croisette sweeps along the bay past grand hotels and private beaches, while behind it the old quarter of Le Suquet climbs the hill in a tangle of Provençal lanes to a medieval castle and the best view over the coast.

It is a working glamour capital — film in May, yachting all summer, and a calendar of festivals and congresses that keep the city humming. For private travellers it is also blessed with its own dedicated airfield, minutes from the Croisette.

The City

More than a festival.

Beyond the red carpet, Cannes is a year-round Riviera town of markets, islands, and old-quarter lanes. What follows is a closer look at the harbour, the table, and the islands just offshore.

The Harbour

Where the yachts gather.

Cannes is one of the Mediterranean's great yachting capitals. The Vieux Port and the newer Port Canto fill each summer with some of the world's finest boats, and the September Yachting Festival is the largest in-water show in Europe. Many clients arrive by air and step straight aboard — a tender from the quay, and the islands and coves of the coast are yours for the day.

The Table

Provençal, with polish.

From the morning market on the Forville to the beach-club lunches along the Croisette, Cannes eats the Riviera way — sun, seafood, and rosé, done with a little more shine.

Food

From the Marché Forville to the beach.

Start at the Marché Forville, the covered market where the city's kitchens buy their fish and produce each morning. From there the day drifts to a beach-club lunch on the Croisette, and an evening in Le Suquet, whose stepped Rue Saint-Antoine is lined with terraces serving bouillabaisse and grilled catch. It is Provençal cooking with a coat of Riviera polish.

Just Offshore

Islands, minutes from the quay.

A short boat ride from the bustle of the Croisette lie the Lérins Islands — pine forests, a monastery, and the calm of a place the festival crowds never reach.

The Lérins Islands

A quiet world across the water.

Fifteen minutes by boat from the port, the Îles de Lérins feel a century away. Sainte-Marguerite is all pine woods and swimming coves, with the fort that once held the Man in the Iron Mask; tiny Saint-Honorat is still home to a working monastery whose monks make their own wine.

It is the perfect half-day escape — a picnic, a swim, and the towers of Cannes shimmering back across the water.

Airport

Cannes-Mandelieu — Private Aviation Only

Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ) sits just five kilometres from the Croisette and is dedicated entirely to general and business aviation — no commercial traffic, no crowds. The PC-12 is among the most frequently seen aircraft on its ramp, and Sky Valet's FBO handles arrivals with lounges, concierge, and swift ground service. For anyone heading to Cannes, it is a far more direct arrival than routing through Nice, placing you minutes from the bay.
