Provence and Côte d'Azur : Places of interest

Cannes

The city of Cannes is perhaps most famous for its annual film festival; however, has a long and interesting history dating back thousands of years. Today, its atmosphere of vibrancy and cultural richness is fortified by it proud heritage.
Cap D'Ail

A really beautiful, tiny and secluded beach with sparkling waters, only a short drive or hop on the train away from Nice.
Les Arcs en Provence

Picturesque mediaeval village nestling in the hills not far from Frejus, walking only up the narrow cobbled streets to the fountain in the village square. Village festival takes place in August each year, but the local hostellery is legend and the prices easily suit the lighter pockets. Absolutely a wonderful experience.
Promenade Anglais

This is a flat promenade about 7Km long and great for walking and people watching. One side features a great beach and beautiful sea, the other cafes, restaurants and some fantastic hotels, old and new. The evenings have atmosphere and perfect for terrific sunsets.
