Surrounded by shops and restaurants, you’ll be close to all the action at the Palais des Festivals, and just minutes away from the beach. This is the ideal holiday location both for you or for guests if you decide to let your Cannes apartment during the season.

At the very end of the Croisette, the old town of Cannes starts in the port and winds up to the top of the Le Suquet hill.

Being that little bit further away from the city centre, this area is quiet and peaceful, you’ll love coming home to your Palm Beach apartment, it’s beach living at its very best.

Living in Cannes

And in winter head to the Southern Alps for some serious powder action, skiing and snowboarding are practically compulsory when you live in Cannes. Thanks to Cannes’ perfect climate, you’ve got every excuse to get outside in the sunshine as much as possible.

Another advantage to the healthy French Riviera lifestyle is that you’ll never have to worry about dieting. Which means you’re completely free to enjoy the incredible array of restaurants that Cannes has to offer. Pop in to one of the bistros of Le Suquet for a delicious Italian-inspired pizza or pasta dish, or dine out on Michelin-starred cuisine in the dining rooms of the prestigious hotels along the Croisette. Try tempting Provençal specialities in the port and don’t forget to treat yourself to dessert at one of the artisan ice cream shops in the centre of town. Eating out is all part and parcel of life in the South of France and as it’s (nearly) all guilt-free, you’ll have absolutely no excuse not to indulge.    

If you’re a shopping fan, you’ll love the designer boutiques on offer in Cannes. Browse luxury fashion, jewellery and accessories in the shops along the Croisette or pick up some goodies for the house in the home goods stores in the Carré d’Or. For a taste of the true Provençal shopping experience, head down to the daily market in the Place du Marché and discover the incredible selection of fresh food on offer. This is the place to get your artisan cheese, locally-made olive oils and herbes de Provence grown in the hills around Cannes.

Beach fans will love the tiny coves around the port and the glorious stretches of sand along the Croisette. The beach clubs in Cannes are famously chic with their elegant restaurants and luxurious atmosphere. Try out a range of exciting water sports or spend hours lying in comfort on a lounger while the club personnel cater to your every whim. In addition to the usual cocktails, many of the beach clubs in Cannes also offer massage and beauty treatments. Sunbathing has never been so glamorous.

But Cannes is far more than just a resort town. This is, after all, the home of the most celebrated Film Festival in the world. Cannes has a whole range of cultural events on offer throughout the year. Living in town means you’ll be able to enjoy some of the best theatre and music on the French Riviera, to say nothing of the contemporary art galleries and interesting museums.

The French Riviera is of course also famous the world over for its fabulous nightlife. There’ll be no shortage of opportunities to paint the town red once you move to Cannes. For an unforgettable evening, head to one of the elite nightclubs of the Croisette where the champagne flows and the dance floors light up every night with the hottest crowds in town. If you prefer gaming to dancing, the town’s 3 casinos have enough tables and slot machines to keep even the highest rollers happy, while the outdoor gambling terraces offer stunning views over the Mediterranean as you play.
