Cannes is located in the Alpes-Maritimes département which belongs to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.

The city benefits from enchanting surroundings and a very mild weather. The beautiful bay, the harmonious setting, the scenery of the hills providing a shield against the wind, the promontory overlooking the beach, the coast hemmed in and protected by two nearby islands have fascinated and attracted man for centuries.

The seafront and the famous Croisette boulevard are one of Canne’s major assets, as well as the sublime Iles de Lérins, which are located a short boat ride off shore and belong to the commune.
But above all, Cannes is known as the world capital of cinema.
