The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region

Weather:
The climate is Mediterranean and the city enjoys 12 hours of sunshine per day during summer (May to September), while in winter (December to February) the weather is mild.

Summer:
Cannes summers are long and warm, with summer daytime temperatures regularly hitting 30°C, while average temperatures are about 25°C. Temperatures remain high from June to September. Despite the hot daytime temperatures, a Mediterranean breeze keeps summer evenings comfortably cool.

Winters:
Temperatures drop below 10°C for only three months of the year (December to February). The spring and autumn are also warm, although more suited to those who prefer slightly cooler weather.

La Croisette is the waterfront avenue with palm trees, and known for picturesque beaches and for restaurants, cafés and boutiques. La Suquet, the old town, provides a good view of La Croisette.

Museums:
The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Provence houses artefacts from prehistoric to present, in an 18th century mansion. The Musée de la Castre has objects from the Pacific Atolls, Peruvian relics and Mayan pottery. Other venues include the Musée de la Marine, Musée de la Mer, Musée de la Photographie and Musée International de la Parfumerie.

The villas of Cannes:
Nineteenth-century Cannes can still be seen in its grand villas, built to reflect the wealth and standing of their owners and inspired by anything from medieval castles to Roman villas.

Île Sainte-Marguerite (St Marguerite Island)
It took "The Man in the Iron Mask" 11 years to leave this tiny, forested island. The mysterious individual was believed to be of noble blood, but his identity has never been proven. His cell can be visited in the Fort of St Marguerite, now renamed the Musée de la Mer (Museum of the Sea). This museum also houses discoveries from shipwrecks off the island, including Roman (first century BC) and Saracen (10th century AD) ceramics.

Île Saint-Honorat (St Honorat Island)
Cistercian monks are the only inhabitants of the smaller, southern St Honorat Island. Monks have inhabited the island since AD410 and, at the height of their powers, owned Cannes, Mougins and Vallauris. Medieval vestiges remain in the stark church, which is open to the public, and in the ruins of the 11th-century monastery on the sea’s edge. The monks divide their time between prayer and producing red and white wines.

Festivals and show events:
The Cannes Film Festival (French: le Festival international du film de Cannes or simply le Festival de Cannes), founded in 1939, is held annually, usually in May.
Midem, the foremost trade show for the music industry
Mipim, the worlds largest property-related trade show
Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival
Carnival on the Riviera is an annual parade through the streets to mark the 21-day period prior to Shrove Tuesday.
The International Festival of Games is festival of bridge, belote, backgammon, chess, draughts, tarot and more (February).
Festival de la Plaisance is an event for boating enthusiasts in the Vieux Port (September).
The International Actors’ Performance Festival: comedy sketches and performances by fringe artists
The International Luxury Travel Market brings together under one roof the top international luxury travel providers and suppliers from all around the world.
Le Festival d’Art Pyrotechnique is a magnificent annual fireworks competition held in the summer at the Bay of Cannes.
Mipcom and MIPTV, held in October and April respectively, the world's most important trade markets for the television industry.
The Pan-African Film Festival, held in early April and featuring films from the African diaspora

The Cannes / Du Prado area

Residence outdoor swimming pool - Open from May to October
Balcony overlooking the lovely garden. View of Cannes Bay from the balcony
Access to private gardens

Restaurants, bars, shops, beaches, the old town are all walking distance from the apartment. It is approx. a very pleasant 12-15 min walk through the town crossing Rue D'Antibes (famous shopping street) to the central Riviera front & the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.

Attractions and activities in the area:
- Croisette (La)
- le Ste-Marguerite
- les de Lerins
- Festival international d'art pyrotechnique
- Palais des Festivals et des Congres
- Musee de la Mer
- Cannes Film Festival
- Carlton Beach
- Plage du Majestic
- Tennis municipal la Bastide Rouge

The old town, known as Le Suquet after the hill on which it stands, provides a great panorama of the twelve-kilometre beach, and has, on its summit, the remains of the fortified priory lived in by Cannes' eleventh-century monks and the beautiful twelfth-century chapelle Ste-Anne. These house the Musée de la Castre which has an extraordinary collection of musical instruments from all over the world, along with pictures and prints of old Cannes and an ethnology and archaeology section.

You'll find non-paying beaches to the west of Le Suquet, along the plages du Midi and just east of the Palais des Festivals. But the sight to see is La Croisette, the long boulevard along the seafront, with its palace hotels on one side and private beaches on the other. A Good place to buy your own food is in the Forville covered market two blocks behind the mairie, or by wandering through the day's flower shipments on the allées de la Liberté, just back from the Vieux Port.

Strolling on and off the main streets of Cannes - rue d'Antibes, rue Meynardier and the promenade de la Croisette - is like wading through a hundred current issues of Vogue.

“Fun time for kids and adults - beautiful palm trees and things to see” An oasis of peace and yet close to everything by foot! In lovely residential area of Cannes the appartment was pleasantly spacious and freshly decorated. With two kids age 3 and 10 the pool was great fun and extremely well maintained (someone always on duty too) - positioned in beautiful and very private gardens full of exotic plants ! We even had a family of wild parrots fly past us every dinner time! Very nice owners who make every effort to give you a fantastic holiday - gave us lots of info regarding things to do with kids before our arrival. Will definately return - so much to see and do and appartment definately good value for money.

We had a wonderful time. The apartment is close to all the great shopping and it was very pleasant to stay there with so much to see and do in the area - Penny, London

Apartment lovely and price was reasonable too. The photos on the website don't really do the place justice ! We had a fantastic time. Near to everything we needed including the Palais Du Congres for the conference. Thanks for all your help with advice and directions - Daniela & Fabrizio, Surrey

We were delighted with your lovely apartment, so close to Cannes centre, and would love to stay again when we next go there! It was very comfortable, had a lovely atmosphere (all at a very reasonable price) and Cathy your neighbour really looked after us. We certainly hope we will find the apartment free the next time we need to go to Cannes - Colin Davis, UK
