Bus CANNES - VALKY. Order a ticket

The luxury resort on the Côte d'Azur, the film capital, associated with wealth, famous actors or directors was until recently a small fishing settlement. Today Cannes is a sizable city, but one that can be visited in a few hours. Its touristic part with the main attractions extends over an area of less than one and a half kilometers. It is thanks to the annual festival of cinema that Cannes wakes up and comes alive for several weeks, serving as a destination for many tourists and fans of film stars.

What to see in Cannes? The top attractions in the city are those associated with the Film Festival. However, in addition to the Avenue of the Stars and the Festival Palace, it's also worth exploring a bit of Le Suquet, the oldest part of the city with its towering 11th-century castle. Château de la Castre was once meant to protect the coast. It now houses a museum that collects artifacts from various eras, including collections of primitive art or musical instruments from around the world. The castle's tower offers a beautiful view of the entire area.

While in Cannes, it is also worth going to the local market Marché Forville, where you can buy fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood and fish and local cheeses. Just over a kilometer from the city is the small archipelago of the Léonian Islands, with remains from Roman times, a Cistercian monastery or the historic Royal Fort.
