Weekend Breaks in Cannes

Weekend breaks in Cannes became popular with the British upper classes in 1834, when Lord Henry Brougham established the Cannes as a popular holiday resort and shortly after the French and Russian aristocracy also flocked there for their summer holidays. Prior to discovery by the former British Chancellor of the Exchequer as a leading holiday resort, Cannes was a sleepy fishing village, home to monks and pilgrims and not the glamorous resort it is today.

Every May Cannes becomes a hive of activity, with it's annual Film Festival drawing the world's hottest celebrities to it's sun kissed shores, along with troops of paparazzi and droves of fans hoping to spot a star at the Palais des Festivals. Cannes is most known for its Film Festival, however the city is popular all year round, with annual international conferences regularly occurring and the long sandy beaches enticing visitors to them every summer. Visitors on a weekend break in Cannes can expect to explore the sophisticated shopping arcades and stylish nightclubs, or they can choose to watch the array of beautiful people in designer clothing walk by on the famous promenade, while sipping a cocktail in chic bar.
