The city
What to expect from Cannes.
Cannes is the city of the film festival, with the Palais des Festivals and the Boulevard de la Croisette along sandy beaches. The old quarter of Le Suquet, atop the hill, preserves the monks' castle and offers views over the bay. A few minutes by boat are the Îles de Lérins, with the fort of the Man in the Iron Mask and an abbey that is still inhabited. The Marché Forville shows the city's daily life.
