Cannes

As the sun rises over the Lérins Islands, it lights up the colours of the palm trees in La Croisette, reflecting delicately on the windows of the exclusive hotels. It then swiftly and impetuously shines on the hill of Le Suquet, of the bay of La Napoule and all the villages of the hinterland, finally bursting out onto the rocks of the Estérel. This is the authentic Côte d’Azur of the Festivals, of the mimosa shrubs, of scents and perfumes, of the museums, of perched villages and quaint old ports.  This is the Côte d’Azur that makes the whole world dream.
