Cannes has 2 faces, so different but both amazing. Glamourous Cannes with the white sandy beach, la Croisette and its renowned hotels, the luxury shops, le Palais des Festivals with its red carpet and the famous International Film Festival. Secret Cannes, a luminous city nestled between the Esterel Massif and the Mediterranean sea, offering its visitors the opportunity to enjoy the seaside, discover the charm of the hinterland or the beautiful Mercantour moutains, under the radiant riviera sun shining all year round. Did you know that ? The 1st International Film Festival which was to take place in 1939, had to be postponed because of the second world war, and the 1st Festival will eventually be held 7 years later in 1946.
