Everybody knows the story behind the growth of Cannes in France. It was more of a village until the breathtaking Brigitte Bardot made it her favorite place in the fifties. All of the charm and beauty of that era is still evident in the Cannes of today. All Bardot did was put it firmly in the spotlight. French chic is at its most obvious in this glitzy and cosmopolitan location.

Cannes is known for hosting the most esteemed film festival in the world. From humble beginnings in 1930 the festival is still held every May. The film festival was started in Cannes in opposition to a fascist propaganda festival instituted by Mussolini in Venice. Today, the Cannes Film Festival is an international event. It concentrates on real acting ability and the artistic virtues of film rather than box office takings.

Cannes is most certainly the best known of all the cities on the French Riviera. It is the haunt of international celebrities and jet-setters.
