Super Cannes
The hills of Super Cannes offer views from the Lerins Islands all the way south to Cap d’Antibes and the countryside of Nice.

Cannes, a place which knows no crisis
In 1991, as the French real estate market is hit by the recession leading to a 50% decrease of prices, the Cannes market only lowers by 15%. Apart from a few exceptions, the high-end areas have never been affected by the recession. In 2015, Cannes remains a safe and sound value for international investors. The properties that Cannes offers are exceptional in the world market, as the area was not hit by the worldwide recession, a place where real estate assets are still bound to increase in value.
