| Book Cannes flights and jet set for a vacation today! For Cannes (CEQ), the moment of glory perhaps takes place in May, with the International Film Festival, when stars flock to walk the red carpet of the Palais des Festivals. However, the city attracts visitors with year round attractions and revelries. La Croisette is best viewed from the highest point of Cannes' Old Town, Le Suquet, where the remains of the fortified tower still stand, along with the 12th-century Chapel of St Anne. Le Suquet is a lovely place for tourists to stroll, with its winding streets, small boutiques, and restaurants. Grab cheap flights to Cannes on CheapOair and save big on airline tickets!
A wide array of international designer shops line the street, including Chanel, Dior and Gucci. A new Jean-Paul Gaultier opened May 2002, in the Gray d'Albion arcade. Rue Meynadier is a bustling street, with a market atmosphere and bargain prices. Cannolive is good for small gifts, while film festival posters are sold at Cine-Folie. Rue d'Antibes has the best confiseries, chocolatiers and delicatessens, including Chez Bruno crystallised fruit and marrons glace, and Maiffret, chocolates made on the premises. The best cheese in town is sold at Ceneri. Many restaurants double up as bars and clubs, as the night draws on. From here you can also take side trips to other exciting cities such as Paris!
