There’s nowhere quite like Cannes It is a trendy destination. A holiday location prized by the great and good of this world. There may be others! But there’s something about Cannes that makes it unique. It has a soul. Quite simply because it is steeped in history dating back nearly one thousand years. A history made from numerous fragments that it has preserved intact. In 1915 it was classified as a seaside resort by ministerial decree. These fragments are often scenes of daily life. A fishing boat coming into the port, a market stall in Forville, a lane in the Suquet district, , a climb up the steps of the Palais. These fragments are also its small architectural treasures. Precious, mediaeval or Belle Epoque stones. Some shine ostentatiously such the palace hotels on the Croisette, Fort Royal on Sainte-Marguerite, Abbaye de Larins on Ile Saint Honorat, the Tour Carrae in the Le Suquet district, the Russian church at the entrance to Californie district. The Croisette, with its luxury boutiques, palace hotels and Palais des Festivals, has bestowed prosperity and international fame on Cannes. But the city has not forgotten its popular origins. Le Suquet (Suquet district) and the Vieux Port (Old Port) continue to embody Provencal authenticity in the very heart of the most cosmopolitan of cities. Indeed, there might be more yachts and motorboats moored at the Quai Saint-Pierre, birthplace of Cannes first port, built in 1838, than fishermans boats. However, the latter have not forgotten a thousand year old tradition: fish is still caught out in the Bay of Cannes. To prove it: visit the richly laden stalls of the March Forville. Inaugurated in 1870, these canvas-covered constructions were quickly nicknamed the œbelly of Cannes, so important was their place in the daily life of the Cannes people. Come and taste fresh products with Mediterranean flavours in our restaurants next to the beach. Light and airy spaces between sun and sea which promise serenity and intense pleasure.
