"Cannes, "Star" of the Riviera is a magical city, a place of pleasures : sport, gastronomy, leisure, shows, discovery. Cannes gives to every instant of your days and nights the personal touch that transforms your life into a festival."

That's at least what the local authorities think.

Cannes is a very expensive city. It does have great restaurants, hotels, clubs and good beaches and it is a nice place to hang out.

But the town caters mostly for people who don't minding spending a lot, so if you are on a tight budget, you can give it a miss.
