Cannes is a must-see for any film buff. Alternatively, you may be aware of the Cannes Film Festival. The beautiful French Riviera, which runs along France's southeastern side, is home to the sunny city. The rich and famous, particularly movie industry A-listers, have made Cannes renowned. The city will be buzzing with the Who's Who of the worldwide film industry in May, as the city prepares for the much-anticipated Cannes Film Festival, which will take place from May 17 to 28.
The event is only open to persons who work in the film business and other celebrities. However, there is no regulation prohibiting you from taking pleasure in the atmosphere.
There will be free public screenings at the Beach Cinema or the Cinéma de la Plage for anyone who wishes to be there and witness what all the excitement is about. You must arrive early because the entrance is on a first-come, first-served basis. So, if you weren't invited to the legendary Grand Theatre Lumiére, there's nothing stopping you from having a good time at the seaside movie.
The old Fort of St Marguerite, now known as the Musée de la Mer or the Museum of the Sea, is a must-see for visitors seeking a bit of nostalgia and mystery. The Man with the Iron Mask used to live in this fort. This, however, is not the only draw. Take a peek at what shipwreck explorers have unearthed. They date as far back as the first century BC in some cases. The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Provence houses prehistoric antiquities, as well as the Musée de la Castre, which has some of the best Mayan and Peruvian finds.
If you're in the mood for some wine sampling, visit the Cistercian monks on Île Saint-Honorat. These monks create some of the best red and white wines on the island.
