Plage de Cannes

La Californie the Bel Air of Cannes, is famous for its chic hotels and as a spa getaway. The area boasts many prestigious and luxurious villas that attest its riches. Visitors can enjoy Musée National Picasso, a number of scenic villas, lush parks, and panoramic views over the bay of Cannes and the Lerins Islands here. People stay here to get a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still be close to Cannes center.

The Le Vieux (Le Suquet) neighborhood of Cannes is where the locals go to get away from the crowds at the center of town. The old port is a scenic break from the tanned and oiled masses viewing for their place in the sun. An elaborate labyrinth of back streets and quaint cafés, with little squares that provide cool places for a quiet drink or meal. Suquet Hill offers unparalleled panoramas of Cannes, and Musée de la Castre offers a bit of historic and cultural education for those interested.

The Town Center Cannes is a high profile, luxury shopping and entertainment hub if there ever was one. High fashion labels are the flavor every day here, but besides designer labels, there’s always famous art to look at. Nice boutique hotels, and overall less expensive amenities are the highlights of this area. And when it comes to nightlife, this is where it all begins: first a drink at one of the pubs, than go down to La Croissette for the best nightclubs in town.
