Cannes Honeymoon, French RivieraConsider Cannes for an idyllic honeymoon or romantic getaway on the French Riviera. Things to do and seeStroll the famed Promenade de la Croisette, lined on one side with 5-star hotels, chic boutiques and apartments houses, and on the other side with a long golden-sand beach crammed with an international cast of sun-worshippers preening, cruising the beach and wading in the blue Mediterranean Sea. Explore the narrow streets of Vieux Cannes (Le Suquet) to see the 14th century Tour du Suquet, the Musée de la Castre and the 16th century Notre Dame de l'Espérance, as well as views overlooking the harbour. An easy way to take in all the sights is aboard the white-sided Petit Train Touristique de Cannes. Elsewhere, visit the mini safari park at Parc Zoologique Frejus or the Musee de l’automobile, with its fine collections of classic and racing cars. Don’t miss a boating excursion to the offshore Iles de Lérins: at Ile St Marguerite, visit the cell where the man immortalised in The Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned, and on Ile St Honorat, stroll around the Abbaye de St Honorat, a mix of medieval ruins and early 20th century religious buildings inhabited by Cistercian monks. Or simply relax on one of the nearby beaches. Visit in July during the Cannes International Film Festival to see your favourite movie stars, directors and producers. AccommodationCannes offers a wide range of accommodation, including the luxurious Hotel Majestic sitting on the esplanade facing the sea and the Hotel Martinez with its famous spa and exclusive private beach. LocationCannes is located around 78km to the east of St Tropez and around 24km to the west of Nice. | |||||||||||||
