Overview of the areas of Cannes and its surrounds

The city known around the world for the star studded Cannes Film festival, its wonderful hotels, and perfect weather. It's not just by chance that the Great and Good of this world have, since the mid eighteenth Century, chosen Cannes as their holiday resort of choice! But Cannes is still quite a small town, though it is a town of many faces. Indeed, the centre itself presents three very different landscapes – the prestigious seaside promenade, La Croisette, the lively town centre overflowing with boutiques, and the picturesque old port and Suquet hill which make up the old town. In the same style as Le Suquet, but 4km or so north of the town, Le Cannet is a delightful little village of narrow, winding streets and old houses belonging to the town's suburbs. Also bordering the town but this time to the east, La Californie-Super Cannes is a lush, green haven sheltering luxury villas. On the western side, the suburbs engulf Cannes La Bocca and heading south, you'll reach two green gems afloat in the sea – just 1km from Cannes' shores, Iles Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat attract thousands of visitors every year.

Riviera - European property hotspot

The Telegraph newspaper in London, says that the Riviera is the perfect investment after a recession saying "that buyers want the certainty of a resale market, (which is) a given on the Cote d'Azur." More information click here.

Le Cannet - A beautiful secret

A cute small old town 300 meters above Cannes with narrow winding lanes and great sea views. The properties date from the 1850's and some of the best boutique shops are in Le Cannet's main street. Look at this lovely apartment in Le Cannet
