Geographically speaking, Cannes is extremely well endowed, being located on the French coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It also benefits from its setting in the picturesque and inviting region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur, and its proximity to other tourist and infrastructure hotspots – such as Nice (35 kilometers from Cannes) or Monaco (54 kilometers from Cannes) – adds another plus to the tourist asset of Cannes.

The so called Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes is a genuine backbone of the city since alongside it there lie the famous beaches of the city. By its lay out, this boulevard ticks off some of the most interesting major tourist attractions, such as the Palais des Festivals et des Congrés, the Baie de Cannes and the Pointe de la Croisette.
